EMC refutes claims of abandoning Retrospect

EMC Software has refuted claims made in a report published earlier today by The Register stating that the company plans to dissolve its Retrospect software after it releases an update some time during this quarter. "As many of you have read in the Register, EMC Insignia underwent some changes recently. Rather then focus on non-Retrospect products, EMC Insignia is now focusing all of it's energy on Retrospect," wrote EMC spokesperson Robin Mayoff in the company's online forum for Retrospect customers. "Some of the best and most dedicated Retrospect team members are continuing to support, sell and develop Retrospect. You will continue to see me and others in the forums, and you will hear the same friendly voices on the phone you are used to hearing when you call us." Mayoff also posted an email message written by the vice president and general manager of small and medium business products, Larry Zulch.

I've been using Retrospect since the days of 60 MB TEAC cassette tape drives.

From my P.O.V. they abandoned it about 5 years ago.

It's gone from a product I could enthusiastically recommend, to one I deplore.

This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of Eudora, and will soon see the end of Retrospect.

Anyone with more then a few years experience in the corporate worlds knows they lie and deny right up to point where they decide it is beneficial to tell the truth. The very idea of corporate honesty has been dead for decades. No honest man gets promoted in the corporate world. An honest man can't be trusted not to answer an inconvenient question truthfully.

If you want to know what is going on, analyze actions, and watch the money. If it walks like a duck... but denies it's a duck... you can still be pretty sure it's a duck.
