In a headline reading "When Did Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) Become a Copycat?," Motley Fool described that as "CEO Leo Apotheker's strategy to put the WebOS it acquired from Palm onto its PCs next to Windows."
They compared it to "Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL) putting Boot Camp onto its early Macs in order to convince consumers, corporate types, and developers that owning a Mac wasn't the digital equivalent of putting on a straitjacket."
Or, as the article said, "it's like Apple slowly merging the Mac OS and iOS in order to convince developers that its platforms offer the greatest profit opportunity.
The conclusion? "Maybe it's time. I just don't see how a copycat strategy that boosts access but not features changes anything."
