Hewlett Packard to exit computing and buy Autonomy
 

Hewlett Packard has confirmed plans to stop making PCs, tablets and phones, in order to refocus on software.

It has also emerged that the US company has agreed to buy UK software firm Autonomy for £7.1bn ($11.7bn).

HP added that it was considering selling its personal systems group, which includes the world's biggest PC-making business, and that it will discontinue its webOS devices.

The webOS operating system is used in its tablet computers and smartphones.

Who will buy their pc division?

i wonder if dell would?

HP PCs have been costing them a ton of money to warranty. The build quality is terrible. There was no way for them to sustain their business without going broke.

The proper thing to do would have been to build quality products that didn't need so much warranty work.
