HP To Build Wall Between Plano And Round Rock?

Thanks to one of my comment posters (that would be hell on my blog posting about five reasons for and five against the HP acquisition of EDS) for reminding me of the close collaboration that had existed between Dell and EDS. Besides both being based in Texas, the two launched what they called an "agility alliance" which included contracts with Barclay's and the Navy and Marine Corps intranet. I doubt if Dell will have enough agility to jump over the wall that HP will create once it owns EDS.
