Re: If I were king of HP, or at least BCS
I agree with most of this. They probably would not be able to give away Symantec bits though.
I was just thinking today that it would be a good future strategy for HP to position HP-UX on x86 as a Hypervisor to run Linux, Windows, and x86 HP-UX VMs. The integrity VM product has limited lifespan given the only OS now supported is HP-UX. With the Hypervisor strategy they could sell the host server platform running on Proliant, while giving away the HP-UX virtual machine licenses sort of like they do on an Integrity VM system today.
In this way, you actually would have a value proposition for HP-UX in VMs, and they would not lose any revenue from the host server OS, while expanding the potential market for Proliant.
