Interestingly, not a single mention of the word Blackberry in the entire article. Not that it's required, QNX is being pushed as a separate brand but still, makes me wonder if that is intentional. Scoring Ford for QNX is a pretty nice win for Blackberry.

QNX is still run as an entirely separate company, its one of the only remaining jewels in Blackberry/RIM's treasure chest. While they are developed with somewhat common and aligned goals, development is still fairly separate. Additionally QNX has been slow (partly due to funding) to take up the QT BB10 side of things as it is not generally part of their core business.

Had the same reaction. Business going from microsoft to blackberry seems like it would have been the interesting spin, even if it requires a bit of transitivity.
