Annoying business mergers
Right now, I'm mad about Symantec acquiring Sygate. With some improvement in outbound filtering (I noticed that Sygate can't see Kaspersky AV's update service, which is a hidden process designed to avoid malware,) and the fixing of the loopback issue, Sygate could have turned into the best software firewall.

What products did you think were great until business X bought them?
