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."

    I was going to make a smarmy comment about how printer ink is hardly a low margin business, but I don't think it may be so smarmy after all. Isn't HP's printer division absurdly profitable? (I can see them ditching their PC division, however.)
