I just read this in the May Atmel newsletter. I wonder what their future products will look like?

I wonder what that will do to/for Armel's PLD line. Maybe they'll finally get WinCUPL up tp date.

I thought Intel bought Atmel a while back? I must have my wires crossed or something.

They look like this:
http://www.microchip.com/mplab/mplab-xpress
It resembles Arduino with the shield concept.
MPLAB® Xpress is cloud based and provides:
•Simplified IDE to get started
•No software installation required
•Simulate now – no board necessary
•Use your existing myMicrochip Login credentials to save your work in the cloud
•Begin from library of existing projects
•Evaluation of the most recent Compilers, and PRO optimizations
Throw away your Arduino? Hello Microchip? Works like a thumb drive. I heard no one is going to get upset because ARM Mbed had this for years.
Quickstart guide:

Self paced guide is here:

So basically some of their products will be more "Arduino" like.

Intel bought Altera, maybe that's what you're remembering.
