Yes, EDS has been acquired by GM.
  
I would just like to hear some comments (any comments about EDS) by EDS employees?
Any EDS people on the net?
I interviewed with EDS about a month ago for a system eng. position. I would be glad to talk to anyone about it who is interested.
I felt like I was being sold more on coming to work for them because of the company more than what type of
work I would  be doing.
For me...I am more interested in the type of work I would be doing before I even look at a profit & loss statement.
