The entire industry, with the exception of MicroSoft, is restructuring.
Virtually every hardware manufacturer was had layoffs in the last 18
months, with the wave of mergers in the software biz, they are in a
"restructuring" frenzy too. That's life in a changing industry. Unisys
(and Sperry before it) had done more than it's share of dumb things, but
restructuring wasn't one of them.
