HP is going for enterprise SW and services. Autonomy is a well regarded competitor in the Business Intelligence space for enterprises. Autonomy has nothing to do with PalmOS, there is no trade, just a strategic shift.

However, $ 10.2 Billion is a very steep price for Autonomy IMHO. But this is a different discussion, has nothing to do with Maemo, Meego or PalmOS.
