Hewlett-Packard Forms Profitable Partnership With Hollywood

Really? It is still a bit early to procliam that…but anyway, a good overview of how HP is trying to make inroads into the digital Hollywood, so to speak…

HP hopes deals (like the one it had with DreamWorks for “Shrek”) will help it make a stand against its larger rival IBM, which doesn’t have a consumer business of its own and is in many ways an underdog when it comes to Hollywood connections.

While IBM lacks marquee customers such as DreamWorks, it has had success with its own version of utility computing, which it calls “on demand” computing.

A fight which is still very open, for now…
