A little odd
At first I thought good for Sophos, innocent unless proven guilty.
I then read on and reached the bit about them having entered a guilty plea and thought WTF were they thinking not cutting the cord then?
Then I put the MBA hat on, you know the large cone one with a big D on it, and thought we can keep support costs down if we leave it until the last possible second and screw any customer concerns.
Then it no longer seemed odd.
