Bull used to have one of the (maybe the) best CPU design teams on the planet. But as it was mostly government controlled, and the people there were mostly "meh, computers, that's geek stuff, who needs that shit anyway, let's go have lunch instead", it died/was sold and everyone went elsewhere. Now there's nothing left. Same story, more or less for all of Europe's industries ("let's do services, that's the future!"). Bunch of idiots.
