Since the talks broke off, there's no indication that the established PC landscape is going to be rewritten anytime soon. Combining EMC and HP would have created a company with a market value of about $130 billion, the Journal reported, combining enterprise storage with HP's PC and printer business.

But with companies like IBM long abandoning their PC hardware businesses in favor of software and services, old-guard enterprise hardware companies are apparently looking to escape the business. IBM, for example, recently signed a deal with Apple for custom iPads, combined with IBM's enterprise services. Joe Tucci, EMC's chief executive, has said that he will step down next year.

In the second quarter of 2014, Hewlett-Packard topped the list of U.S. PC vendors, with 27.3 percent of the market. Dell was next, with 25.7 percent, according to IDC. But in the worldwide market, both of them trail Lenovo, with 19.6 percent of the market. (HP is second, with 18.3 percent share, and Dell is third with 14.0 percent.) Dell went private in 2013, and HP tried, then aborted, a PC business spinoff in 2011.
