Hewlett-Packard turned in an impressive second quarter, beating targets for revenue and profits, but said it will continue aggressively cutting costs in the wake of its merger with Compaq by laying off another 3,500 workers by the end of this year. HP said revenue totaled $18 billion in the quarter ended April 30th, up from $17.9 billion in the first quarter and a 69 percent increase year-over-year. Net income rose to $659 million, up from $252 million the year before.

What is it about hp.com that grates the nerves?
Go to their website and 'attempt' to order a pc, 8 clicks and still counting to get close to closing the order.
go to dell.com, 6 clicks and you're done.
Hp may have turned in an impressive qtr but unfortunately their prices are NOT competitive and their website sucks.
