Meg Whitman ? I never saw that in a million years. She's never even
worked at a computer hardware company in her life. The board of HP is
out of their minds. What's the line on how long she lasts before being
fired with a huge golden parachute ?
Dunno. She's a "celebrity CEO", so I suspect her contract runs for a
short time anyway.
But very, *very* bad to first say that you're going out of the PC
business and then turning around a short time later and pulling an
Emily Latella.
If you were a purchasing manager, would you consider HP to be serious
about the PC business--or simply waiting for a good buyer?
