Where HP went wrong

It got into bed with MSFT, the same way that DEC did. Playing the drone to the queen doesn't work. What MSFT got from DEC was Windows NT --- designed by ex-DEC engineers. What MSFT got from HP was an abortive attempt to sabotage JAVA.

About two years ago Dell got the inside track --- corporate server sales (probably special MPU pricing from INTC). SUNW consolidated its position as the web server platform of choice (UNIX). That left HP selling boxes.

Too bad.

=========================

During this period I didn't see HP doing a thing for Novell.
