I wonder how much all this will affect HP's future with Linux!

"Word of the layoffs comes one day after HP and Microsoft disclosed a joint
$50 million investment in Microsoft's .Net software. Under the deal, more than
5,000 HP salespeople will be trained on .Net and 3,000 HP Services
professionals will be certified on .Net. HP will also create a new group of
.Net developers.

Earlier this month, HP reported a net loss of $2 billion for its first quarter
of combined operations with Compaq, as the company absorbed $3 billion in
layoff and merger expenses. At the time, HP executives promised better
performance for the current quarter as the new HP cut costs from its
money-losing PC and server businesses. "
