I
don't think there will be duplicate positions. I expect them to continue
to function as 2 seperate companies. Compaq's name is much bigger than HP,
especially in the server market. I think HP just wanted a bigger piece of
the PC and Server pie, and Compaq wanted the financial backing of HP's dominance
in the peripheral and printer market. It's a good
merger.

Interesting
articles at www.infoworld.com:
- HP, Compaq target enterprise, services markets in $25 billion acquisition
- Merger highlights role of HP's
Fiorina
While the merger
may not guarantee an improvement in sales/performance, does anyone see a
downside to the merger (other than HP/Compaq employees who will lose their job
when duplicate positions are eliminated)?
Do you expect the
merger to provide better products and services?
