Let's include VMS too, since it's future isn't 100% assured, especially
if the merged HP/Compaq decides to focus only on Wintel Cartel PCs, and
printers.

There's already a thread in the comp.os.vms newsgroup about a rumor that
IBM would acquire VMS, based on a posting to the Yahoo message board for
HP.

P.S.:

  Does anyone find it difficult to accept Carly's company-supplied private
  jet, while laying off people ?  When Shell Oil was downsizing in the early
  1990s, their Corporate Aviation folks were among the casualties.
