Symantec to aquire PC Tools anounced in 2008 - did they?

Quoted from Wikipedia:

 

"On August 18, 2008, Symantec announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire PC Tools, but PC Tools will maintain separate operations. Bought for 262 million dollars"

 

 

Did this ever happen?  Are there any links anyone can share so I can follow up on this?  Great news! That is awesome.

Answers my own question.

I don't think Norton Utilities is Norton Utilites anymore. It is actuallly a PC Tools product.

 

Look at the similarities...

Interesting.  So I wonder why this is not included with Norton 360.

Not sure about some of the other parts but the registry utilities in Norton Utilities is definitely from PC Tools Registry Mechanic. I.e., the registry clean and defrag.

 

I used Registry Mechanic for a couple of years before I got the new Norton Utilties.
