HPQ Much Ado about Nothing

HPQ earnings . Much was made about "better than expected guidance" but all I see is an adjustment to the mid to upper range. A rise in guidance to me is where the company raises the top line, I didn't see that here.

And do they expense stock options? Bottom line, I put more emphasis on the DELL miss and lowered guidance then from HPQ as they lop 14,500 jobs they are doing so well.

Do you know anyone who owns an HPQ computer instead of a Dell or other brand? Would you pay MORE for an HPQ than another brand?
