It may not be a totally bad idea to sell of the PC business for HP. Maybe they saw Motorola getting 63% premium over the share prices from Google for the mobile division. Off course HP is not naive to wait for an example like this but maybe they saw the timing right. This obviously leaves the current users of Webos and HP laptops wondering about future of the support services for the devices they already own.
I hope it does not backfire them with their newest acquisition Autonomy. Especially after looking at the HP CEO’s statement of one year investment policy..
