Criticism

A criticism section should be added for this company in order to better balance it out with other companies (Microsoft, Apple, Dell, ect...) simply for the sake of objectivity. One must look at the whole picture of a company afterall, not just the positive if they wish to have a truly informed opinion... hence why I think the Microsoft, Apple Computer and Dell, Inc. pages are soo good.

I'd agree,their low cost brings them to be used as schools and they break down a lot. I saw a news report where compaq was the most repaired computer out of all brands testedZakTek 12:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Data with references talks, anecdotal allegations walks. If you wish to add something to the article, please do so. Ken (talk) 16:09, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

As I am unfamiliar with the quality needed for citation, can this help out this page as a source?

And if one looks at the Tandem page, the same claims about NonStop is made there, but with no citation.

ISA

EISA is mentioned very late in the article. ISA should already be part of the history of what started the company well before we get to ISA. Gang of Nine, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Industry_Standard_Architecture probably deserve earlier set-up and mention .
