Pixar and ILM - superior CG technology under one corporate banner

Let's get this straight: Pixar, the groundbreaking and Oscar-winning Animation studio is now under the same corporate structure as Industrial Light and Magic, the groundbreaking and Oscar-winning special effects house?  Two leaders in their respective fields that can now share their copyrighted programming and code with each other to further the field of CG animation and design? In a competitive space where programs and individual tech advancements are worth millions of dollars ? Yep, that's pretty much a win-win across the board.
