They Just Don't Get Dell! - Dell Withdraws from 3PAR Bidding War with Hewlett-Packard

Dell ends the bidding war with Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) over the acquisition of 3PAR Inc. (PAR). Hewlett-Packard is paying $33 a share for 3PAR, or $2.35 billion, which is well above Dell’s initial bid of $18 a share.

Whether 3PAR is actually worth what Hewlett-Packard is paying is questionable, but the bidding war did appear to be ego- and pride-driven. Dave Johnson, Dell Senior Vice President for Corporate Strategy said, ""We took a measured approach throughout the process and have decided to end these discussions." Marek Fuchs below questions that there was a Dell "measured approach" to the bidding war.

Marek Fuchs, TheStreet's media critic, gets unhinged at Dell's 'measured approach.'
