14 DAY TRIAL // HP has become fairly notorious in a surprisingly short amount of time, and its latest actions may only serve to further the confusion and stupefaction that its recent announcements regarding webOS and its PCs have caused worldwide.
If anything is certain about HP, is that it will take a long time for it to live down its latest maneuvers, if it will even happen.
Many people may know of it as the top supplier of computers worldwide, among other things.
Apparently, the company reached the conclusion that it was better off without its highly successful PC division which, coincidentally, has a value of about $40 billion.
The news came at the same time as the decision to sack all webOS projects (smartphones and the TouchPad Tablet).
Ironically, the TouchPad, after falling to a price of $99, began to sell like warm bread, performing much better in death than in life (and it only lived for several weeks to boot).
Nevertheless, despite how former HP director called the PC decision a corporate suicide, the company is determined to go through with the split.
No concrete means of spinning off or selling the division were outlined, although the outfit did say it preferred the former idea.
Now, HP put up an advertisment in which it again states this decision, saying that it wishes to better anticipate change and focus on customer needs, something that will be best accomplished by going forward with the transition to a pure focus on the enterprise.
Note that there is still a possibility of a buyout by another PC company, despite HP's preferences.
Users that want to take a direct look at the so-called sample adds need only drop by this web page on the official website.
What remains is to wait and see just what becomes of this entire situation and which side is, in the end, proven right, if any.
