Burroughs and Univac mergeed to form Unisys Well, not exactly. Those two companies had two disparate operating systems and proprietary hardware solutions which were incompatable with each other. Their main competition was from IBM, who was establishing the standard in big Iron and letting it drift down to large midrange iron were burroughs and sperry were getting their respective lunches eaten. HWP and CPQ are eating each others lunch in PC and Midrange systems, IBM is present, but much will be gained by these companies in tandem in these areas rather than in competition. AND unlike sperry and burroughs, both companies are trending to the SAME software and hardware. It is obvious to me that Both Ben Rosen and the Packard Foundation is in on this deal. There is no other way it would be kept such a secret. RUDEDOG WE NEED YOU!!!! My take is that this deal will work only if redundant manpower is eliminated; and that HP is truly committed to the Intel platform.
