Quote to Note: HP Has a Racier Side
October 13, 2014
Navigate to “Split Today, Merge Tomorrow.”
Here’s the quote:
Unlike many similar spin-offs, the racier half of HP, which will be called Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and maintain Ms Whitman at the helm, is unlikely to deliver strong growth immediately on being unshackled. Revenues at those businesses have shrunk by 4% in the past year, and competition to sell servers, data storage, software and services to businesses is fierce.
Is the racier an example of British subtlety, or is there an editor who believes that the word “racy” and Hewlett Packard are one of those metaphors like peanut butter and jelly? You know words that just go together.
HP may have a side I have overlooked. Racy.
