If HP were to buy CItrix could we expect HP printer problems to magically vanish in the next build?

But remember Kevin Mcghee's post (hp employee) last year around this time?

Again good reason why it will be HP if it happens at all.On Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 7:28 AM, Jim Kenzig http://thin.ms <jkenzig@gmail.com> wrote:
That Microsoft MVP you got is looking better and better Steve, Huh? Actually I would HIGHLY prefer it to be HP at this point. I think it would be a smart move on their part. Who better than HP to have the ability to create the Citrix Mobile Virtual Workplace Client (remember iForum 2001 http://citrixblogger.org/2008/03/08/citrix-virtual-workplace-2001/) loved the Oh we just switched to another server part. Still a fantasy.

1) Citrix recently moved all distribution through Ingram solely
2) They are actively cost cutting
3) Stock is low right now
4) Public message is that MS and Citrix will undercut and beat VMWare *together* over the next year
5) HP and MS have cash
Hmmmm……… will I need a new career if this happens?? How about you?
