HP's ProCurve Now an Open Network Blade
,----[ Quote ]
| HP ramping up its networking efforts with Linux powered application blade.
|
| [...]
|
| Like Cisco's AXP, HP will use Linux as the core underlying operating system
| on which application vendors will deliver their solutions. A Linux 2.6 kernel
| will sit on top of HP's new ProCurve ONE Services zl Module, which is a blade
| that plugs into the ProCurve Switch 5400zl and 8200zl series switches.
|
| An HP spokesperson explained to InternetNews.com that the Linux OS is being
| used as a service OS to provide application installations, diagnostics and
| the checking of application licensing credentials. The applications
| themselves bring their own OS, just as if they were an appliance.

Irate e-mails reveal HP, Microsoft strife
,----[ Quote ]
| A surprise decision by Microsoft jeopardized its relationship with PC giant
| Hewlett-Packard a year before Windows Vista's release, according to internal
| e-mails unsealed late Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle. The messages,
| between top Microsoft and HP executives, shed new light on the
| behind-the-scenes turmoil that preceded the operating system's troubled
| debut.
|
| "You have demonstrated a complete lack of commitment to HP as a strategic
| partner and cost us a lot of money in the process," wrote HP executive
| Richard Walker in a January 2006 message to then-Microsoft Windows chief Jim
| Allchin. "Your credibility is severely damaged in my organization."
