My thesis is that Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) is the old Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL) HP used to innovate and delight its customer base. Started life in a garage HP built stuff that enabled people. Then they just built it real good and people appreciated the durability and value.

Now…how are they delighting customers. Apple look at HP; this is what happens when you lose it. It’s not pretty.
