Microchip sent a proposal to acquire Atmel :(

2008-10-02 by Anurag Chugh

Hey guys,

This might not be the place for such a discussion, but still..

check this press release:

http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=2018&mcparam=en537485

I hope that this doesn't happen...
Atmel surely doesn't need it, I am sure its not doing all that bad.

Its not that I hate Microchip or anything, I use their stuff here and
there, but I like the open-ness of Atmel and its product users like
you and me.

It just wouldn't feel right if such a thing were to happen..
