I would like the HP to burn, since they are too friendly to M$ and AFAI remember, the Compaq was pretty much a M$-only, unstandard, fragile, expensive trash. Getting in to the Compaq's BIOS setup was a huge effort, not to mention, it was difficult to find the documentation, that described it.

I do like the Dell's approach---commodities and for the customers. But, who knows, may be I'm mistaken about Dell? I certainly like, that the Dell's CEO stated, that if someone is boasting with a huge R&D budget, then (s)he is mostly boasting with reinventing the weel, since companies like to keep things in secret.
