You're asking TWO questions not one. I THOUGHT sun and Dec wouldn't disappear into other companies. I'm still really cross about Dec. I learned on a dec10 and operated 11 and 11/780 systems as well as decstations.

I THINK that a lot of sw dev tooling companies will get folded in. Atlassian for instance.

Intel isn't as strong as it needs to be but US govt support will probably keep it there.
