Scott - it only stands to reason that two companies as large as CPQ and HP would have SOME kind of relationship with nearly everyone... ISS is not a party to the merger, and as far as I can tell would have no REG FD requirements. They are investment advisors. I can't see how the fact that a venture firm which has done some investing with HP, and has also invested in ISS, is material to the discussion. The list of companies that have done business in some form or another with HP, who also had some interest in this merger, would probably be hundreds of pages. Who would actually read something like that as a part of their decision-making process on the merger? The fact that Bill Parrish is quoted in this article makes the ideas presented suspect. Parrish is a self-promoting charlatan who proposes outlandish ideas backed by pseudo-accounting and outright misrepresentations of the facts. I was not in favor of the merger, and I am not a fan of HP any more (I was until the late 90's when they, like CPQ, got lost in the woods). But I think that it's time for the companies, and the other parties to this soap opera, to move on and see what they can make out of the smorgasbord they have prepared, not keep re-hashing the proxy vote.

Scott, I think your interest in the HWP/CPQ merger is based on how well Dell will take advantage of it. Could I be wrong?:) Ps Don't count out Korea's Samsung. >>Last summer Chin Dae Je, the head of Samsung Electronics' digital media division, sent a laptop to Michael Dell. The two men had never met, but Samsung had recently signed a multiyear $16 billion deal with Dell Computer to provide components to the Texas PC maker. The laptop--thinner and lighter than a Sony Vaio--made such an impression on Dell that he sent one of his executives from Japan to South Korea to get a better look. Now Samsung is making a similar model that will be sold in the U.S. under the Dell label starting in April. And Dell himself, a spokeswoman confirms, travels with a Samsung-made laptop.<< fortune.com
