Snort. Giggle. Boy have I heard that one before. Everyone says that about every acquisition that isn't an acquihire. Hell, a lot of the time they even mean it.
I have yet to see a single acquisition that promised independence and autonomy actually maintain it for an extended period of time (say, multiple years).
