It didn’t take long after HP filed suit against its former CEO Mike Hurd to prevent him from joining Oracle for things to turn nasty. A recently released comment could potentially signal a rift between the two big tech companies.
“Oracle has long viewed HP as an important partner. By filing this vindictive lawsuit against Oracle and Mark Hurd, the HP board is acting with utter disregard for that partnership, our joint customers, and their own shareholders and employees,” wrote Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. “The HP Board is making it virtually impossible for Oracle and HP to continue to cooperate and work together in the IT marketplace.”
