I attended their Small Business Meeting and it was great to meet different members of the HP team and see what innovations they were announcing in order to meet the SMB sector, interestingly the topics seemed to be around reducing costs, coping with extra demand as well as environmental sustainability.  There were a range of technologies announced/discussed including:
