Will HP have a bigger market cap than IBM by the end of 2010?

Background: HP to buy EDS for $12.6 bln in challenge to IBM

Owning EDS, one of the pioneers of the outsourcing of managed computer services, would vault HP to second place in the global technology services industry, behind International Business Machines Corp. Analysts said the merged company would be better-equipped to go after large clients and cap costs.

Neither EDS nor HP, however, are strong in the high-end consulting business that is a strong suit of IBM, they said.
