Well, maybe his biggest screwup was to get fired. I give you that.

Lateralus is saying that Hurd turned HP around during his tenure? 2005-2010? Not exactly the glory days of HP.

Apparently due to contracts with component suppliers.

Which begs the question: Who the **** publicly kills an entire business line only to realize a week later that they can't?

HP's management are acting like their tech support and their website.

I said 'turned the company around' not 'put it on a pedestal'.

Though had his tenure been longer, I've no doubt that we would have.
