Meg Whitman is at least an intelligent person. I think she has a
chance at doing some good IF she breaks with American CEO tradition
and listens to people who know how the business really works and take
their advice. I think she'd do well in the execution but probably not
the overall steering.

Ebay was, and is, a monopoly. They are pretty easy to run. Before that
she was an executive dealing with kids and toy products. We'll see. I
see nothing in her resume that would make me think she can turn around
HP. Already they've flip flopped on killing of the PC division and then
not killing it off in the same week. Killing off webos or not. Maybe
she is just there to wind it down. I could see that. She is fully
qualified to gracefully shut down a company without causing a lot of
ripples in the market.
