HP Lays Off Unix/IA-64 gurus

Posted by Hemos on from the bad-times-for-everyone dept.

A reader writes "On Tuesday HP announced that it is closing a lab in NJ. This was an HP-UX development lab, responsible for porting HP-UX to IA64. The lab employed top engineers, including some who have worked in Unix kernels for over 20 years (originally from Bell Labs, Novell, and other companies). " That report came from a soon-to-be former employee.

    In light of the merger announcement you couldn't expect them to keep two versions of UNIX around.

    Yeah, Unix is simple all right. The same way stone age tools are simple.
