Well,
Here's my drift on it, for what it's worth (you get what you pay for).
Compaq continued the trend that Digital started and has been selling assets
and intellectual property for years now. The few items left are O/S,
storage systems, and service/support.
With the market for computers down, the environment is ripe for some
consolidation. Especially if you are going to compete with a strong,
vertically integrated company like IBM.
So, look for one version of UNIX, some tools to help port applications from
TRU64 to HP-UX. Some of the nifty features in TRU-64 to be brought into
HP-UX. I would say, that any current development going on in a TRU-64
environment needs to be reconsidered at this time.
