Where does it say anything about Compaq?
- protomyth 15y agoThe only refs I can find on the Compaq part is that what the PC models in question are branded (e.g. "HP Compaq 4000"), but you are correct that nothing is mentioned in the article. Maybe someone has some knowledge of the internal divisions of HP?
- Steko 15y agoIt's an erroneous leap by the submitter. HP is spinning off their entire PC business.
- binarycrusader 15y agoIt's implied in the first sentence: "...plans to spin off its personal-computer business, people with direct knowledge of the matter said." And given Compaq's parent company is HP and is a personal computer manufacturer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compaq But you're right that it doesn't explicitly say.
- starwed 15y agoHP made personal computers before they bought Compaq. The headline is misleading, because it implies they would continue those lines while only spinning off Compaq.
