HP to Acquire Voodoo PC
mytrip writes to mention a News.com article outlining HP's acquisition of Voodoo PC, the high-end gaming computer maker. Following Dell's purchase of Alienware this past March, it would seem that the big computer assemblers are gearing up for a gaming skirmish. "In the weeks prior to that acquisition, Rahul Sood predicted the looming deal after having similar acquisition-related conversations with Dell Chairman Michael Dell, he later revealed on his blog. Rahul Sood will become chief technologist in HP's game division, and Ravi Sood will take on the role of chief strategist, Rahul Sood wrote on the blog. Voodoo will maintain a presence in Calgary, Alberta, where the company is currently headquartered. The deal is expected to close in November, HP said in a press release."
Voodoo will be doodoo now.
How ya like dat?
are they gonna make like difficult for the Voodoo purchasers as much as the made life difficult for the Compaq purchasers, who now have to deal with HorrablyPathetic tech support?
Hey if you buy a Compaq you're just asking for trouble. HP has made some lousy computers in their day (desktops at least, I think their laptops are actually decent), but Compaq has churned out even worse stuff for years.
