Depends on who is leaving...........the product technology transfer is completed, and it's not like NT had no router engineers in their company. Might actually be good for the overhead and besides, if these Bay Engineers were so good why did Bay always come second? Having said that, if there truely is a mass exodus, that would be surprising and not necessarily positive. Is this a fact or rumour Brian? I thought Roth had adjusted options to reflect US style compensation? In any case, the NT growth is not likely to come from enterprise router market so I am really not sure what the downside is other than an immediate upside on overhead reduction.

>>re:Bay, Engineers are leaving by the dozens, perhaps hundreds over the last 4 months. Stock options have been vested and NT's option plan is very weak in MA compared to its' competitors. I've read the same thing. btw, there was an article in the WSJ about how successful companies keep employees after acquisitions. Cisco was cited as the exemplar. They also stated in another article that Cisco receives 250,000 resumes per period. While I forgot the period - month, quarter or annum - I realize they all can't be from NT.
