HP + EDS vs. Microsoft + Yahoo: Lower Degree of Difficulty, Better Execution
HP has announced its intent to buy EDS and the process is already in stark contrast to the failed one Microsoft used on Yahoo. IBM is the competitive target for the HP acquisition and HP moved ahead of IBM some time ago in terms of worldwide revenue, though with a distinctly different product mix. HP has chased IBM for decades. Now, knowing that it is in the lead, it apparently plans to lengthen that lead.
We’ll contrast several aspects of the failed Microsoft/Yahoo merger attempt and what will likely be a successful attempt by HP. For most of you, the result of the HP/EDS merger will be vastly more important because you do business with one of these two companies.
