Better Buy: Microsoft Corporation vs. HP Inc

You might have to go back more than a decade, but for a time, HP (NYSE: HPQ) was the king not just in personal computing -- but computers in general. Before Macs re-emerged and mobile was the way new internet users joined the information age, HP was one of the biggest component makers of them all.

But that was then, and this is now. In place of hardware makers, those who offer software-as-a-service (SaaS) are the real kings of the tech space.
