From Earlier: Court Rejects Oracle's Attempt to Use Fraud Claim to Undo Contract With HP

HP

issued the following statement in response to today's ruling in the ongoing litigation with Oracle

relating to the Intel® Itanium® platform: "HP is pleased that the Superior Court of the State of California, Santa Clara County, has rejected Oracle's attempt to use a fraud claim to undo its contract with HP. We look forward to seeing the facts made public that demonstrate how Oracle's March 2011 announcement to no longer develop software for Itanium servers was part of a calculated business strategy to drive hardware sales from Itanium to inferior Sun servers. This further demonstrates the fact that Oracle breached its contractual commitment to HP and ignored its repeated promises of support to our shared customers."
