He's not an analyst. That is for sure. If he is one he's a poor one at that.
He has no historical perspective.
If Microsoft wanted, I'm sure it could easily take it's OS completely internal, buy up a company like Dell, and do its own server, pc/workstation, and laptop line as well the tablet line it already has and the smartphone line it seems it will likely have in the near future. HP is simply trying to get Microsoft to negotiate something, or they're trying to look bold. However, if Microsoft went in-house, HP's stock would crumble overnight. They might still see some server business, but the majority of their business would dry right up.
