It lost money-- no saying it wouldn't have lost much more under somebody else.

It let people go-- and probably many more to come. It's a sinking ship. The best talent left years ago and bad talent got hired. Expect most of upper/middle management to get replaced over 5 years if the company can turn itself around. Good employees will be cut in the process, but hopefully re-hired later.

If you want to write a story about the failure of capitalism, write about Carly Fiorina and how she steered one of the greatest tech companies in history straight into an iceberg and then ran away with the cash.

Non-tech people tend to confuse Fiorina and Whitman because they both ran failed Republican campaigns in the same election. But to people in the industry, they are night and day. (I've never met either. Purely second-hand)

No saying HP can ever be pulled from the shitter, but don't blame Whitman for grabbing the wheel at this point.
