To be clear the board was clearly at least largely to blame for those plans, given that they wish to continue them.

I'm beginning to think that this was the board's plan, and not Apotheker's, from the beginning. They must have hired the former CEO of SAP for a reason, right?

Competing with Oracle and IBM? Ha, good luck with that...

There's no way. Oracle and IBM have the presence they do because that's the business they're in, and have been in, for 20+ years. HP is too big. It's like trying to change your career at 50 years old, with two kids in college. They won't be able to fund themselves for long enough to get these plans off the ground.

No does HP have the guts or innovation to do anything else.

They don't create anything, other than a smaller and cheaper multi-function printer every year.... what else is new?

HP runs like a successful(profit) Commodore... but in the end, still morons. How they handled WebOS was a joke... their plans, a joke.

If they live long enough to make Win8 tablets, perhaps they'll last more than another year or so.
