so  profits didn't enter into the decision.
it was declining sales - salesman offers NT, HP-UX and Linux - surprise,
surprise, corporation says
customers aren't choosing MPE.

Yet October was a record month for sales??  Any vendor care to comment on their
product -
would you kill it the month after you sold the most ever?  (isn't that what
"record" means?)
Was there a fire sale or something?

it was the "ecosystem",  so that means it wasn't their (HP's) fault, it was OUR
fault??

I know, I know, the horse is already out of the barn and down the road !!
But inquiring minds would like to know the truth !!
