Hopefully all of those things, though just days after the merger is no
time to be making promises either.  All I can say is that each and
every one of the things you mention have been discussed in positive
terms.

All these things and:

- the ability to provide support, training and consulting services
  to a much larger market

- More direct sharing of open source technologies and being able
  to leverage some of the rapid pace of innovation there; it's not
  just our testers which are valuable. :-)
