HP/Compaq Merger Apparently Approved

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gobble-gobble-gobble dept.

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?

    When I finally see it. There has been so much speculation about this, and rumours about that, a little bit of leak here, and a little assumption there.

    When I finally see an announcement that it's happened and start seeing some Hewlett PackPaq(tm) boxes on the shelves, then we can start talking.
