Netvibes was pretty much dormant right, didn't Tariq move on a while ago?

Not surprised someone picked it up.

On his blog, former Netvibes co-CEO Pierre Chapaz writes that Dassault bought Netvibes for €20m: http://www.kelblog.com/article-netvibes-naissance-vie-et-reu...

Enough to allow investors to recover their stake, not much. Netvibes turned down a €50m offer a few years ago

For what it's worth, I'd like to point out that Dassault Systemes makes the only free (not OSS) 2D CAD/drafting program that is usable on an equal footing with the big commercial software in the industry (Autodesk etc).
