For the most part, the disappearance of HP would amount to "... and
nothing of value was lost." Sure, VMS would be gone, and we'd lose
the itanic jokes, but really what else is there?
HP, a subsidiary of Foxconn.
With the HP stock price so depressed, does anyone have the guts to go
long on the basis of Whitman's reputation? I like the way a BBC
commenter put it "She's a celebrity CEO, not a real one."
Sorry Bill and Dave, but HP has lost "the HP way". Shows what
happens when you take a technology firm out of the hands of engineers
and give it to "business" CEOs.
