I'd say this deal represents the final nail in the coffin of what was once DEC. HP-UX will supersede Tru64, VMS (Alpha VMS; it hasn't been VAX/VMS for a long time) will slowly fade away (it will take longer than the phase-out of Tru64 because there is a large installed base and it's a completely different environment, not a different type of Unix).
How the new HP differentiates itself from the competition will determine how the deal affects Sun.

I'm curious. What happens to Tru64 or HP-UX? One of them's got to go, would'nt you think? How about their Unix servers? I know they're both going to 64-bit Itanium eventually, but can they support both product lines? Wonder how VAX/VMS is going to fare? How does this effect Sun? I'd say this would have a negative impact on Sun.
It'll be interesting to see what product lines get cut and which ones continue. Should be fun to see how things pan out over the next 12 to 18 months.
