HP to Spin Off PC Business?->

Submitted by Ensign_Expendable
Ensign_Expendable writes "PC Magazine (and others) are reporting that HP plans to spin off its personal computer business as part of an acquisition of analytics software vendor Autonomy. PC Mag and other commentators speculate that price pressure and small margins in the PC market make it unprofitable to continue the business. Quite a shock and maybe a sad thing for one of the pioneers in the business to exit that segment."

I'm no expert in open source use conditions, so I won't mind being *ahem* corrected if I display my ignorance here. I totally understand Google wanting to exercise control over the Android OS to avoid some of the nightmares that are happening with carrier customizations, etc. But if they wanted to manage Android that way, shouldn't they have developed (or purchased) their own OS, and not used open source?
