Curly was the accountant running Compaq at the time of HP's takeover.
I don't know how HP managed it, but they managed to upset my then clientco enough that they decided to migrate away from HP (and hang the cost).

Moving to the cloud is massive business. PaaS ,SaaS ,LaaS. HP has seen a slowdown and
will continue to do so. Seen some pretty impressive offerings so far. Blown away by new clientco's offering.
It's nice to back in the clouds. :-)

They make a heck of a lot of money selling servers which will start slowing as more and more businesses start using the cloud rather than buying hardware.

I listened to the analyst call last night and the mainstream media don't seem to have gone beyond what HP announced. There was an analyst from BMO who asked what it meant for the services business and they reluctantly admitted the net headcount would be less in 2 years time and more of it offshore. They did mention Mike Lynch is to go and are probably hoping for as many limeys as possible to go too.
