I have been through several mergers of large/Fortune 100 corperations (Union Bank of Switzerland and Swiss Bank/Paine Webber and Kitter Peabody) and can speak from experience when I say that ther will be large cuts in the workforce of both companies to eliminate redundant functions. It is just common sense to cut costs by combining, wherever possible, duplicated functions. Where these cuts will occur is a matter of speculation, but you can be sure since HP has controlling interests they will generally get preferential treatment.
