Yep, there wasn't anything hidden in Hugo's statement. S3 (SONICblue now I guess) have acquired a development team, and that team specialise in certain areas - and achieve great results. There's no point in acquiring a functional team simply to destroy it.

In any case, although this is news (and maybe a shock) to many of you, we've known about it for months and we know exactly what products we're developing quite far into the future. In fact we've already started developing some of them. I'm sure our embedded Linux expertise is going to prove highly useful.
