HP Says Goodbye To Windows Home Server Market

Now that HP owns Palm, it’s been made it clear they have little interest in selling Windows Home Server boxes. Zero interest, actually – they’ve announced they’re selling the rest of the inventory they’ve got and never looking back.

The news could be bad news for anyone looking forward to buying an HP box equipped with Vail, the newest version of Windows Home Server – and certainly a disappointment to Microsoft, with one less vendor to spread the software around. Microsoft is taking the breakup graciously, albeit with an “It’s not me, it’s you” approach, claiming “This news is in no way related to recent announcements about feature changes in Windows Home Server “Vail.” [SlashGear]

    Go HP! They’re realising WebOS for the incredible possibilities it presents.

    Hi Giz,

    Can you let us know if HP starts selling off the inventory for greatly reduced prices?

    Funny, they are promoting their media server on the front page of Gizmodo.
