HP sends letter to muzzle Sun’s Schwartz

Looks like Sun Microsystems’ president struck a nerve with HP when posting some sensitive commentary about HP “problems”. While agree that HP has its share of issues that need to be dealt with, I believe that their real issue stems from their poor customer service. I challenge them to prove me wrong on this. I deal with it on a daily basis, quite frankly it is horrible.

Sun Microsystems’ high-profile president and chief operating officer Jonathan Schwartz has struck a raw nerve with his inflammatory Weblog entries which has led to Hewlett-Packard sending a letter of demand to Sun to put an end to the commentary.

HP has confirmed a letter was sent earlier this week demanding Schwartz stop using his blog to comment on HP’s strategic direction.

The HP spokesman declined to provide any details about the content of the letter except to say it specifically refers to Schwartz’s Weblog commentary about HP.
