The Company is owned by an investor who has been working to get Mandriva to a point where they can make a good retrun on their investment, and Mandriva has been officially up for sale for years. I didn't even bother reading the article to which this responds, as it was old news to me.

Almost any company is for sale if the price is right.

Per Google finance, Microsoft's current market capitalization is $247.49 billion.

So figure about $125 billion to buy up slightly more than half the company, at which point you would have effective control.
