So does Microsoft come a-calling with a bag with a giant $ on it, and suggest coming back to Windows? Does Google dangle Android?

Or does this mean HP is getting out of mobile altogether? If so, that's a huge mistake, given the state of the market right now. Especially if they are spinning off the PC side of things, what's left for HP? Printers?

Apotheker wants to make HP the next SAP. I guess he misses being there.

Which is amazing considering the time it would take to create a brand new piece of software. Unless of course they buy one... SalesForce, Infor maybe?

HP is moving deeper into the Enterprise business. First with hardware and now with software. Are they trying to clone IBM or SAP?

It looks like IBM with a side order of overpriced corporate IT hardware solutions as well. (PCs/Servers/Printers)

Sort of like what IBM used to be before they sold their hardware division to Lenovo, then.

if they buy autonomy($10 billion) then they are definitely in enterprise solutions.
