It was only a matter of time before Carl Icahn got involved in the developing story that is HP and Xerox's marriage. The IT industry's biggest, baddest corporate raider is using his $1.2bn stake in HP to push for nuptials.
At least this is the view today expressed by the Wall Street Journal, which was told by the activist investor, who already owns a 10.6 per cent stockholding in Xerox, that he's also got a 4.24 per cent chunk of HP stock.
