Wow, how many other HP employees are here posting on company time? I'm in HP as well. Been doing very well lately. Slightly worried our numbers may be a little soft this quarter, but we'll see. This is historically our worst quarter.
I've been with HP/Compaq for almost 19 years. Dells in quite a pinch. I can't say that I care either. Don't expect their stock to recover for quite a while.
I have a large group of friends that have done extremely well over the last 5-10 years working at Dell (too well for what some of them do IMO). I think that party is about come to a crashing halt.
