The first thing that AD will do is to make Arnold stop working with competing app such as C4D, Houdini, or, most importantly (and maybe the main reason they buy Arnold), NUKE, yeah, AD already killed Softimage so they are not even going to mention it's name. Then they will let the development team go and let it die off, just like Softimage. Yes, AD will have lots of R&D time on Arnold, to study how to destroy another fine tool just to show everyone how good they are at this.
