After fighting a large battle for a narrow victory, giving Hewlett-Packard permission to go through with an ill-advised merger of Compaq that will change the "HP Way" forever, CEO Carly Fiorina says the new company -- which will be named HP and lay off a whole bunch of Compaq workers -- wants to pay "tribute to the contribution of both companies as we come together to build the new HP."

Are they changing the name to include "Compaq?" No. Moving headquarters to Houston? No. Redesigning the logo to include Compaq visuals? No.

They're changing the stock symbol from "HWP" to "HPQ". They're removing the "W", as in "Walter." It was once a great company.
