I just watched Meg Whitman CEO HP interview on CNBC and she sure seems to have guided HP well even though it's an uphill battle. HP could be another candidate to acquire SPIHF/V3 in time. They are agressively going after Cloud services software now.
SPIHF/V3 acquisition could be a bonanza for reviving HP. Obviously they wouldn't be the first choice, but there are numerous Companies like HP trying to enter/enhance Cloud services.
