 HP on Thursday shared some eyebrow-raising news regarding its operations, essentially proposing to reposition itself to solely focus on the enterprise market.  Briefly, it plans to shutter development of hardware for webOS devices, acquire Autonomy, and either spin off or sell its PC division. The latter proposal -- specifically the possibility that HP might put the business out for sale instead of spinning it off into a subsidiary still controlled by HP proper -- has piqued the interest of the PC and electronic device manufacturing industry.
