I just hope the priorities don't drastically change for Xilinx after the deal. Xilinx has been making some very neat FPGA products and i hope they can continue doing. Under AMD, i would guess the plan would be to use FPGAs more on the server side; hopefully that doesn't take away resources from the embedded use-case FPGAs. Only time will tell. And i agree with what Gough Lui has mentioned above...the Intel acquisition of Altera didn't go as we had hoped.
