So HP made some, what I might call crazy, moves today. Reports are in that HP is going to spin off its PC business. Other reports are in about them killing off webOS products like Palm phones and tablets (here and here).

HP just bought Palm last year for $1.2B -- but it may license the software or put it in other products. What a waste of $1.2B!

Carly took a beating for buying Compaq, but at least it lasted longer than a year!

HP is also in talks to buy British enterprise software company Autonomy, which specializes in database search, for $10B.

So the strategy for HP is all cloud all the time. Good luck. You left your VAR's in the dirt.
