A fair point WHBM but I think the clue is more in the words 'legacy' and 'new'. Legacy companies are called that because they carry a legacy and that is often not the kind of legacy the company thinks it has - or wants!

For example, a couple of years ago I went into an old fashioned umbrella and walking stick company in London. Had they not have had the very thing I wanted (and at a good price) I would have walked out. From the moment the staff clapped eyes on me, it was an obvious 'He's not one of us'. They were lousy adverts for the shop. As it happens, I walked past the shop on tuesday and remembered all over again what terrible staff they had. I shall certainly not return or recommend them. That's a legacy company for you.
