Editorial - PC Week Compaq looking good November 16, 1998 9:00 AM ET Although our stock in trade is the news of the week, some stories deserve the perspective that comes from a few months of aging. With its mid-October earnings announcement, Compaq invites a look at the progress of its midyear acquisition of Digital Equipment Corp. At the time of the buyout, we noted that Digital's presence in IT services would boost Compaq's position in this area, which is of critical importance to enterprise customers. Compaq has followed through: The acquired services business has shown its strongest annual growth in five years. Other positive outcomes rode on the ill winds that blew through Redmond and Silicon Valley. Delays in the next generation of NT and in Intel's IA-64, or Merced, have strengthened corporate IT managers' appreciation of Compaq's 64-bit platform of Unix on Alpha. Compaq is also saying nice things about Linux. It's smart to be lucky, and it's lucky to be smart. Compaq has shown both attributes since it took charge of Digital. The result is faster progress than we anticipated in building a formidable company that can cater to the full range of corporate information system needs.
