As with others, I hope that this will turn out to be a good thing.
We work in a very fast paced /dynamic design environment here, and we make HUGE changes late in the game -that is one of the reasons we love the non-history based approach.
We have used these products since the start with HP ME-30 rev 1.3 (EARLY 90s) and have had great success with them.
I hope that we can continue to expect the same level of service and support that we now get.
I guess we will all find out more in the next 3 months or so.
BTW
Here is an idea for the new merged product name - Pro|Create.
NO ONE will forget that.
