I wouldn't be so quick to claim HP has any real values. Do you remember this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_spying_scandal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_spying_scandal The simple fact of the matter is that HP makes some decent servers and low cost storage that we buy a lot of. Unfortunately in recent years Mark Hurd has cut their support staff so thin, and outsourced most of it to Costa Rica, so that now when you need support on a server you're more likely to get someone speaking english as a second language that knows about enough to order a part # for you and have it shipped so you can replace it yourself. I guess for these "cost-cutting measures" Mark Hurd should be praised, or at least he has been praised in this business environment. I don't think he has particularly done anything brilliant other than accelerate the globalization and outsourcing of the tech industry as a whole.
