Color sends a very strong subliminal message. I think it would adversely effect the quality of the debate.

HP's stated goal is to be #1 or #2 in all the markets where it competes. Services was the obvious exception to this worthwhile goal. The Compaq acquisition was problematic because there was significant overlap. Here the only overlap is in management and administrative functions. There will be significant cuts here to create synergies. HP will gain an army of valuable, talented and productive IT consultants.
