10 Reasons HP`s WebOS Strategy Won`t Work
After a long delay that left WebOS in limbo, HP has finally decided what to do with the operating system. According to CEO Meg Whitman, HP will make the operating system open source, effectively giving it a life line and hoping that, with some help from outside developers, it can finally achieve the lofty goals Palm set out for it years ago. But whether or not HP’s decision to make WebOS an open source option for developers is a good one is up for debate. On one hand, it allows the operating system to stay in place, and it keeps people employed, which is fantastic. But on the other hand, HP had several other options available to it to make the best move possible with WebOS. And by the look of things, the company didn’t necessarily follow the right path with its decision. Here’s a look at why HP’s WebOS strategy won’t work, and why making the operating system open source could finally be the last nail in the platform’s coffin.

10 Reasons It Makes Sense For HP to Stick With PCs
Hewlett-Packard has made the not-so-surprising decision to keep its PC business in place, and not spin it off. The company said that the decision should help HP reach new heights, but also put it on a course to success, even though several major threats remain. The decision also proved just how different former HP CEO Leo Apotheker and the company’s current chief executive Meg Whitman are. Apotheker thought that HP’s business relied upon the success or failure of software and solutions. But Whitman thinks that PCs must play an integral role in that. And she has decided to prove it. So, should HP have stuck with PCs? Absolutely. Although it might face some challenges in the coming months and years and margins won’t get any better, the company has what it takes to be successful in the PC business. Most importantly, it has a system already set up that should allow it to continue to lead that space for the foreseeable future. Here’s why HP’s decision to stick with PCs makes sense.
