The HP-Compaq Verdict: So Far, So Good?

from the wait-and-see... dept

I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty of similar articles in the next few days as the HP-Compaq merger reaches its one year anniversary, but the San Jose Mercury News is first out of the gate, saying that the merger is looking good, despite all the "end of the world" predictions from those who opposed the deal. Of course, not everyone is happy with the merger (especially the almost 20,000 employees who have been laid off). Mnay of those who remain are also upset at the loss of the "HP Way" culture, which made HP an enjoyable place to work.
