he had to go
scripter 8th Sep 2010
@guihombre, ask any HP staffer what he thinks of Hurd and the picture they paint looks remarkably like a well-known red character with horns and a tail. The man is *loathed* by the rank-and-file, and I recently read an article saying that he'd decimated HP's R&D budget. I get the impression that the expense report was an excuse that the board had been seeking for a while to get rid of him. Wall St loved him because he cut expenses to the bone, but the benefits of that policy only last until the reservoir of existing products dries up.
