HP = 3 , Apple = 2, Xerox = 1 In the computer industry. Huh?

Is it me or is it them? "Most admired" in the Computer industry?

Since when is Xerox a computer company? I thought they were The Document Company. I've been on my little soapbox about getting a chance to make a pure play on Xerox as a Print infrastructure company.

Makes one wonder about "executives, directors and analysts" and the Hay Group.
