HP buys Neoware

Looks like our friends over at HP picked up Neoware. I forget the last set of numbers, but this should make them the market share leader if I remember correctly?

We quitted the thin client market some 7 years ago and sold everything to Neoware. It's funny they have been bought by HP now. Smiley Wink

Not sure what to say here ...... which would be a speculation anyway given the fact I am not in the board room that decides these things.

Wow, I just ran into a similar release (http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2007/070723xb.html) and couldn't believe that one either... as everyone else has already pointed out, this should make things interesting!

Don't know about IBM, but I was thinking possibly Dell...
