HP Keeping Their PC Business

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the keeping-the-baby dept.

First time accepted submitter yourlord writes "Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to keep its PC division. So says its newly appointed CEO Meg Whitman. Whitman, the former eBay chieftain, categorically rejected a plan offered up by her predecessor, former CEO Leo Apotheker, to either sell or spin-off this division. HP announced the decision after the close of financial markets today."

    They make crap laden with bloatware and unnecessary background applications running incessantly, phoning home and creating all manner of 'functionality' that nobody can turn off, short of wiping the damn thing.

    They are perhaps the very WORST PC VENDOR in this regard.

    Deciding not to get rid of their PC division is probably a money-making course, but it's not worth celebrating.
