I can't speak for everyone, but while I'm a little saddened by this, I'm too busy being optimistic about the future to get worried about anti-trust. NatSemi makes good chips, but everything else seemed a little shaky (have you seen some of their newer datasheets...?) and I hope being owned by TI will help a lot of these things.

Agreed on that part. Also MultiSim is damn expensive. TI are usually cheaper on tooling and software support.
