HP's board had to know that this was going to end up like this. Hate on Oracle if you must, but in a deathmatch for business dollars, HP will get destroyed.
That said - if HP is really going to be a consumer-focused company (like Apple), a deathmatch fight with Oracle might actually encourage and expedite that transition.
- spinchange 16y agoIt seems like HP's board made a horrible miscalculation with this whole situation (going back to Hurd's firing). All of this is essentially brought on by the board's decision to take the advice of a PR firm and let go of their best performing CEO in ages over expense reports. It's still unbelievable to me.
