Who knows.
It is a possibility though, and they said that the specific product lines /
branding hasn't been decided on.
My view is that the Compaq Proliant servers will become a sub-brand of the
HP brand (IF the merger happens), ie HP Compaq Proliant. As for the other
product lines like Alpha, Himalaya, Storageworks etc I couldn't say. I think
there is less "synergy" (geez I HATE that word) than is being touted, and
consolidation of the product lines is a way off, with some very tough
decisions ahead. The main product line that wont be affected during this is
the HP "Printing and Imaging", ie scanners and printers, since Compaq hasn't
played in that space for a while.
Dropping the Compaq name altogether is a move, that if done, would need to
be handled quite delicately, so as not to alienate the existing Compaq
customer base.
