Correct, it is the same basic product lines with new branding.  While we 
are all tired of the constant name changes, a lot of us have complained in 
the past that the "WebSphere" brand was used on too many products and made 
things confusing.  So I do not really mind them using the "Rational" brand 
to apply to their development tools.  AFAIK, WDSC is going to remain WDSC 
for at least the next release.  I have not heard of any plans to apply the 
Rational brand to it, although that would make some sense for consistency.

I imagine that more of the tools that came from Rational will start to 
make their way into the base offerings.  Rational still has their own 
packages based on Eclipse that focus on their modelling and testing tools. 
 Perhaps more "lite" versions of some of these features will make their 
way into the WSSD/WSAD tools?

When all is said and done, this will just be the Eclipse 3.x-based version 
of the same tools we have been using.
