Editing Tru64 UNIX (section)

==End of Life ==
With their purchase of Compaq in 2002, HP announced their intention to migrate many of Tru64 UNIX's more innovative features (including its [[AdvFS]], [[TruCluster]], and LSM) to [[HP-UX]]. In December 2004, HP announced a change of plan: they would instead use the [[Veritas File System]] and abandon the Tru64 advanced features. In the process, many of the remaining Tru64 developers were laid off.<ref>{{cite news | author-link = Ashlee Vance | author = Ashlee Vance | title = HP laughs off Tru64 promises, welcomes Veritas | url = https://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/12/02/hp_ends_tru64/ | work = [[The Register]] | date = 2004-12-02 | access-date = 2008-04-12 }}</ref>

In 2008, HP contributed the [[AdvFS]] filesystem to the [[open-source community]].<ref>{{cite news | last=HP | date=2008-06-23 | title=HP Contributes Source Code to Open Source Community to Advance Adoption of Linux| publisher=HP | url=http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2008/080623a.html | access-date=2008-06-23 }}</ref>
