Sparc CPU team: 30% (~600 headcount) were let go
Sparc System team: 42% (50% in CA, 34% in MA, ~120 headcount) were let go
Sparc SW/FW team: ~40% were let go.
Rest of the team is more for sustaining, not much development going on. Plus, attrition is on going.

Fowler runs that group, not Hurd. And Fowler reports to Larry.
Get your facts straight ;P.
What locations were CPU teams let go? 600!
It took me this many times to notice that this is meant to be sung to the tune of "Bohemian Rhapsody". Kudos!

SPARC will be history soon.

No names guys, they will nuke the complete thread (see rules belie)
Mercury news reports that employee will receive 60 day as severance.
