It took 15 minutes to approve....Are we really talking EDS here? Because I've never heard of any decision in EDS to take less then 15 months!

Maybe this is a sign of improvements to come. The ability to make quick decisive decisions would be a welcome change here.

Surely they deserve each other?
The uselessness of HP and their ability to have new product ranges, combined with EDS's general FAIL at everything - hopefully they'll go down the pan faster tied to each other!
Here's hoping....

EDS & HP will have a fantastic opportunity to deliver REAL end to end solutions, Now the 9th largest company in the world. Bye Bye other vendors!

Ha Ha! Notice the word "vendor" - that's what they'll always be

What they didn't say was if the shareholders did not accept the buyout, EDS would owe HP a huge penalty fee in the multi millions of dollars. So there was a major "incentive" for EDS shareholders to accept the buyout.

Yep, a VENDOR. A vendor sells things (anything, product, service, utility, etc) HP do sell things, unlike some others in the space (Sun as an example). The number one vendor (& 9th largest company on the planet) continues to grow and sell more than anyone else.
