On June 4, 2009 (yesterday), Intel announced that it'd be buying WindRiver (makers of VxWorks and WindRiver Linux operating systems) for about $884M. On a Linux note, WindRiver is also the maker of WindRiver Linux and had acquired FSMLab's RTLinux which is now re-branded as Wind River Real-Time Core.
