Didn't you read the message from Hein a day or two ago ? Cuts are being
made elsewhere in VMS. I suspect the true extent of the cuts being made
to VMS are not going to be announced by HP.

Bootcamp was not costing HP money. (in terms of cash). And employees
that were based in new england didn't have to fly halfway around the
world to meet customers beause Bootcamp was held next door to their offices.


If you were HP, would you agree to host a training/marketing event where
you need to ask ex-employees to make presentations on the new features
you are just releasing ?

The only way Bootcamp can work in 2009 is if it is run by a separate
organisation who can then run an event with freedom to source speakers
from ex employees and whatever remains of HP employees assigned to VMS.
