I think given the mega size and mega real estate and Data Centres EDS owns,the deal appears a good bargain for HP. HP may now become a first among equals with IBM. I predict that some counter move from IBM can be expected sooner than later.

I think HP can buy BT's outsourcing business in India, though I am not sure the British Government will approve the sale of telephone company. @ All. My theory is that HP is trying to become the GE of Silicon Valley. Highly diversified and betting big on future technologies. Any thoughts? @ Jez

Wild?? maybe! but HP used to have BT provide only its european data networks.. with this acquisition, it will also provide Worldwide data networks. Also go and look at the recent HP Datacenter consolidation from 85 worldwide datacenters into 6. For HP its about providing the servers/switches through the reseller channel, but some enterprise customers want to lose the responsibility of looking after there own IT. If HP Can put there OWN servers / switches in these new Datacenters ?? This looks like a good buy. More to it than meets the eye!
