> What a fantastic company HP used to be, The company you are thinking of still exists. It was split from HP in 1999. It is called Agilent Technologies. HP kept the name and went into the business of flogging commodity computer products, Agilent continues to design and sell low volume high end gear and kept the engineering culture that requires. HP later split again into consumer and corporate. To put the result into perspective HP Inc's (consumer) revenue is $55B/yr, HP Enterprise is $37B/yr, and Agilent is $7B/yr. Given the crap being thrown here you would think the splits were a disaster. I don't know if the engineering culture of Agilent would have survived if it hadn't happened. |
