Comments on: Why HP is different from IBM

Ann Livermore weighs in on what separates her company from Big Blue, along with the shift to virtualization and what it means to be green.

[Graeme L]

Green, you say?

HP's entire business model is, surely, all about consumption: -

- printers -> disposable cartridges -> ink -> all of which begets, um, paper. HP environmental credentials are very poor indeed when you think about it.
- On top of that, the whole laptop/desktop business creates enormous wastage.

Virtualisation doesn't make up for this.

Green? Newsweek thinks so...

...and ranked HP #1 on the list of high-tech green companies in 2007. As for HP and it's 'consumption' model, I challenge you to find any significant business that isn't about consumption in one form or another.
