Q&A: HP's Carly Fiorina: Page 5 of 6

Fiorina: I'm not going to give you projections and numbers in the enterprise. The estimates we have for our business are out there publicly.

Q: Do you feel a greater sense of confidence about the enterprise today than you did at the end of 2003?

Fiorina: I've never been more confident in the competitive position of this company. Never.

Q: What is HP's responsibility in the security area?

Fiorina: Well, we have in the $4 billion of R&D that I talked about [in my keynote], we have four principal areas of focus in that R&D that cut across every product line in the business: mobility, management, rich digital media and security. So, our thrusts in security are everything from, Let's make sure that each and every one of our products has the right kind of security capabilities' to introducing new security software products; we introduced a couple of them in the last several weeks. To methods and procedures that customers can use in an Adaptive Enterprise to include security. So, security is such an incredibly important requirement that it is becoming a bigger and bigger piece of our investment across our entire business. Whether it's processes or services or software or products or how we help customers manage those things.
