Eric,
It may not be as bad as it sounds. Just like the IA64 has ended up being "finished" by a lot of Alpha Engineers (they got the last 150 from HP about a month ago), it appears that next major version of HP/UX is going to end up being a lot more "Tru64" than HP/UX. HP has made commitments to retain the distinguishing features of Digital Unix, e.g. clustering and AdvFS, and they don't plan on offering two parallel versions, one with and the other without. It will be easier to include the "look and feel" of HP/UX into Tru64 - and call it HP/UX - than to make HP/UX do *real* clustering.
It's sorta like buying a Bentley ... it's still mainly Rolls-Royce under the skins.
