Spinality writes "Looks like HP's hotly contested merger with Compaq is going ahead. Various news headlines such as this one at Bloomberg.com report that stockholders voted to merge, against the wishes of the Hewlett and Packard families. " There isn't official word yet, but this looks like it's pretty much a done deal. Anyone else think the business world looks like a game of Pac Man?

    With the current state of the (US) economy, it's a very smart move for hp & compaq to merge. in the end, i think the hp families will see that this was in the best interests of the company, since their combined market share will ultimately increase the market value after the merger.
