At the risk of being naive - Xerox hasn't been doing much with their IP and branding so they were to my mind on the way to being the next Novell - a former tech powerhouse bought out and reduced to irrelevance. This merger gives them a chance at continuing relevance by expanding their worldwide presence and perhaps finally trying to leverage the Xerox IP and branding to do more than cheap printers.

I'm glad that Fujifilm bought them rather than a completely unrelated business like, say, a patent troll or Oracle.

They have a relationship that spans decades, with a very successful joint venture in FujiZerox, so they seem like a natural acquirer.
