PC and printers in one company, enterprise products and services in the other.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting ( http://online.wsj.com/news/article_email/hewlett-packard-plans-to-break-in-two-1412530028-lMyQjAxMTE0OTAzNTEwNjUzWj?tesla=y ) that HP will break up into two separate companies. According to the report, the company appears ready to split into separate "Consumer" and "Enterprise" companies, with PCs and printers ending up in one company and corporate hardware and services operations going to the other. The Journal says HP plans to announce the move "as early as Monday."

    "And believe me if anyone comes up with a better OS Microsoft will either buy the company right away or sue it into the ground."

    Apple with OS X is far better than anything they have come up with, now I am not a big fan of Apple the company or their over priced hardware but with very little work if you choose your hardware carefully it runs on a standard PC just fine...
