Perhaps this is just a parsing error - let me try to make this a little less
ambiguous through the appropriate use of parenthesis (as any good programmer
would do):
 
         I'm responsible for HP's (UNIX workstations) and (servers),
         (enterprise middleware), and (professional services).
 
Interpretting the comment this way would distinguish the difference between
UNIX workstations and NT workstations - since Dick is only responsible for
the former and not the latter.  This would especially make sense in light
that the original question regarded an Intel/MS product.
 
Just a possibility to consider before we draw too many conclusions...
