HP Buys Compaq

I will be the first to say that Compaq stuff sux, except the proliant servers which are okay for midranged computing. First of all..... they don't have any technical expertise to handle what they are selling. You have to go through 3 levels of support before you get to someone that has any idea of what they are doing. Compaq is purely run on politics and marketing just like M$. The name COMPAQ sounds good, but you are actually buying all crap besides a couple of descent products. This merger may be okay for them given HP will focus on the consumer line and the compaq end of it will probably focus on service and solutions. I'm sure all of there manufacturing facilities will move overseas east or to Southamerica.
It's all going to boil down as to who has the best product, service, and overall technical knowledge. Compaq and HP lack in all areas. IBM will own because they have solid products, service, and solutions... including an excellent technical staff (kind of like Cisco).
I hope Compaq get's cleaned out...they have been slupring on wine and eating cheesecake off there COMPAQ branded junk for way to long......
