Wow, great way for HP to spur sales: fake a reorg/spinoff.

I have been buying and using HP desktops, laptops, printers for over15 years. If HP drops computers then they will lose a large part of their customer base. HP is not EBay and I am not sure Meg understands the manufacturing and marketing of this business. Big differnce between running a website!

I hope they reconsider, my computer is a 17.3 HP laptop, G series and it works great; best computer I've had thus far.

Jeez, they are absolutely schizophrenic about this. It's hurting their credibility. Badly.

HP just needs to give it up.. they cant run their company at all, too many middle managers and they arent even qualified to even do that... why do I say that? I contracted for them.. what a huge mess they are when it comes to things.... cant believe they are still in business.
