Meg Whitman and HP...

"I will say that is probably a little different from this market. Remember, I am new to enterprise selling. This is a new thing for me and there is more of an ‘out there' sort of rhetoric among the companies. I have just chosen not to do it. I think our products and our solutions speak for themselves."

HP has never done anything for themselves, they have always been reliant on talent outside of their network.

HP is not new to the enterprise market and maybe because you broke up your company in half the information has been lost along the way on that one.

'You' may be new to the market, but companies, and we know you don't like to hear about them, but companies like IBM and Dell are not.

HP is not new to the Enterprise network and it was thanks to Compaq that sold their company to you for a ridiculous profit that gained you the #1 seed at one time, but you don't know hardware or software and you lost in the end which is the result you see of HP today.

The one thing that HP is right on is that they are a very scary company because they are a highly educated group of individuals that know how to throw college degree words at people that make them sound accredible, but all they are is an aggregator to true solutions.

sidenote: Technically speaking, your an overzealous Reseller!

HP is hoping that they will be viable by 2020 which is great if everybody else would wait for you, but reality check MEG, the World is already there and been there.

Microsoft is the furthest in the lead with their Enterprise solution and their software prowess rivals any competitors like Google or Apple or even you HP to be worthy of a comparative solution.

Google may have more servers, but that's neither here nor there when all you do is Gmail and provide a "Desktop."

The best you can hope for is that they buy their servers from you HP, but more than likely will buy Dell servers or maybe even IBM's if they were smart.

However, Microsoft is afraid of IBM and to buy from them will enable them and that would hurt MS bottom line.

WOW, if Microsoft and IBM were to team up with each other, would be a match made in heaven, and the competition knows it, but the Federal Government would never allow that to happen.

sidenote: IBM and MS have a rocky past with the Initial MSDOS that made MS the company it is today.

The thing of it is though, is that the CLOUD is a glorified backup server. It's less significant than the .com era of which burst like a balloon.

The cloud is none other than a distraction from the true agenda, which is the Telecom age of the Millennium.

All they are doing is recreating the wheel of so many years past with the MA Bell boom, but this time it's got an advantage...cable television.

Get people hooked with the shows they enjoy and provide them only on their networks.

You are already seeing this in the Sports packages they provide and now companies like HBO are jumping ship and going solo.

We've helped many companies get on their own two feet in business and get away from 3rd party hosters.

You have the ability to host your own server, buy your own dedicated DSL line and broadcast your own shows and provide secured backup for your customers or yourself.

There is no more secrets in the Computer business and all the solutions that you need are out there begging you to choose them and install them yourselves.

Look at Hillary Clinton, even she knew that she could host her own server, collect her own data and not have to be put on hold with someone in India when they can't connect.

As much as we can't stand that laugh of hers is insignificant, due to the fact that we applaud her for her ingenuity and courage.

All they are trying to do is get your data on their servers so the Government can have access to it at anytime.

The Govt. knows they can't move fast enough nor do they have the funds to support a task force to monitor every computer/device that is out there.

It's the same with the Marijuana movement. They were losing the war on drugs, so what did they do...they made it legal by providing a medicinal solution for people.

All they had to do was get a red card, a medical card that had your name and address on it and that was all they needed to build their database. They had you do all the work.

The same goes for these Cloud data centers, you are doing all the work by entrusting them with your data and giving them a centralized location to do it with...JOB DONE!

The cloud is an overhyped data backup solution that will cost more than they will ever receive, and that is why the small business will never make it.

Without a Handset/OS all you are is an information gatherer that leaves the customer vulnerable to online cyberthreats.

If companies like Premera Blue Cross can get hacked, how do you think Billy Bobs Backup Service won't?

HBO doesn't need Google or Comcast to host their channel, HBO could host it themselves, because they are HBO!

HBO doesn't need a 3rd party marketing company to brand their services with because HBO has already done it for themselves, all they need is a Server and a Connection.

You are getting the Clouds pulled over your eyes by these Silver Tonged Devils like HP and Google and HP has no clue what it's doing and are venturing into split decisions with he said you said blame games with it's two company divide model.

You're smarter than that, and we have taught you many ways to backup your own systems that have redundancy and accessibility just like the Big Companies have, it's not rocket science :-P

People you are spending your money much wiser nowadays and are saving much better, so don't lose all that hard earned money to some Snakeoil Salesperson.

"Trust me. As I have learned when you are at this size and scale and then you magnify that size and scale by the partners, this takes time. And it takes energy and it takes a little bit of trial and error to see what works. But I am convinced it is totally the right thing." Meg Whitman

...totally :-P

**UPDATE**
A strong wind would topple almost half of Americans’ nest eggs, according to a Monday report from Bankrate.com. A reported 46 percent of the country’s consumers store less than 5 percent of their annual incomes into longer-term savings...http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/personalfinance/almost-half-of-americans-arent-saving-nearly-enough/ar-AAabZEY?ocid=ansUSNewsReport11 

...they are saving what they can with the slave wages 46% of Americans get paid. They don't have enough for dental, car repair, medical, but they are paying their rent and eating a little bit of food and putting away what they can. Keep up the good work regardless of what the Fealthy say about you...
