What sense does this make? The Board of Directors or HP Chairman and CEO Carly Fiorina must swim in defeatism.
What does it say to shareholders when you admit that the company you run can't make something as simple as calculators profitably? If HP doesn't go out onto the field at least believing they have what it takes to win in the arena of calculators then where, exactly, do they believe they can come out ahead?
While this might be considered a 'wise business decision' in some quarters I can guarantee the people here at HP will not see it as such.
I subcontract at HP for a living. Talking to HP employees is not an uplifting event. By and large the best of the developers would leave if the economy weren't so bad. If the economy does, hopefully, pickup then you will see a mass exodus out of HP. The 'HP Way' was a fiat agreement that used to tie the people of HP together in a partnership that went beyond business. That is gone now.
The promise used as a tool is soon broken.

Government revenues actually went up after the tax cut. Government spending, unfortunately, went up even faster. Remember Tim O'Neil and Tom Foley?

Indeed. If I had only known that BSD was dead I would have avoided having so many happy customers who paid me money.
