  This isn't specific to Wind River.

  Scuttlebutt is that engineers in other areas of Intel are concerned and anxious because there's a big RIF coming. Reportedly it will be the usual "early retirement" thing.

  Great way to incentivize your workforce guys. Reminds me of when Circuit City laid off all their most senior salespeople. IIRC this was about six months before the company imploded.

  Well the market for mars rovers isn't exactly booming.
