Microsoft and HP Joined at the Hip

You're probably used to Microsoft salespeople knocking on your door, but more and more you may be exposed to joint Microsoft/HP sales calls. The two have long been tight, but based on a brand-spanking new $300 million services deal, the companies will be seeing a lot of each other.

The big areas of focus are messaging, business process, business intelligence and unified communication.

Not sure how Michael Dell feels about the deal.
