WebOS only started HP or planned to abandon PC business

Here is a much more shocking message when I lament that webOS is dead and scold HP for being incompetent. HP may discard PC services.

According to Bloomberg, Hewlett-Packard is planning to restructure its business, acquire Autonomy for $10.3 billion, and is considering splitting the PC department.

British software vendor Autonomy is Europe's second-largest software company, a global leader in enterprise-level basic software, with a market value of $7 billion. Analysts believe that HP's acquisition of Autonomy means that it has abandoned its reliance on its hardware business and focused on enterprise-level software and services.

Now, looking back at HP's acquisition of webOS, you may see a different picture. HP is not without foresight. It has seen that in the post-PC era, a platform that integrates smartphones, tablets, and PCs is the real future. If you cannot do a good job on this platform, you can only become a vassal of others.

Therefore, after Hewlett-Packard's acquisition of webOS, you will find that Hewlett-Packard has been talking about the integration of the entire platform, not just the mobile market. In TechCrunch's view, HP's ambition is to become another apple.

However, in this process, Mark Hurd, CEO of Hp, stepped down due to a scandal, and Apotheker became CEO.

This person used to work on SAP. He has been in the enterprise market for 20 years. The entire "HP's Apple" program must have heard of him in Latin.

However, the acquisition has been completed. Why not try it?

This may explain that HP is not enthusiastic about webOS, because its CEO has no longer paid much attention to it. Otherwise, how do you explain how Jon Stein was transferred out of webOS? In the fiercely competitive smartphone market, failure to make full investment means destruction.

At the latest financial conference, Apotheker mentioned the biggest threat to their key business services: Oracle. This indicates that Apotheker has abandoned the "HP to be Apple" plan and chose "HP to be IBM ".

It seems that HP's abandonment of webOS is a signal that HP has already planned to abandon the PC market. As the world's largest PC seller, this message is far more shocking than the message of webOS's death.
