On the HP - EDS Deal
Business May 13th, 2008
Update: I did not think the photos would need explanation. Presumably everyone recognizes HP CEO Mark Hurd, but no, the guy on the right does not work for EDS. For younger readers: there was (is) a Very Blue, Very Big Corporation, that once made the transition from hardware to a services company, and the guy on the right is the turnaround CEO.
OK, that was the fun part, for real analysis read these other articles:

I think it would make a lot of sense for HP to buy EDS. They share a lot fo the same clients in their portfolios - for that reason alone, why would HP loosing the service end of that business to someone else scooping up EDS?
