Its the cash, not the cloud with HP/EDS deal

Tue. May. 13, 2008

There's a lot of buzz today surrounding HP's acquisition of EDS.  Some people are hung up on cloud things, but this deal doesn't have much, if anything, to do with cloud computing.  You buy mature companies for cash flow, not to grab share in high growth markets.  

BTW, $5 dollars for the first person that correctly identifies the car wash.
