Exactly, the takeaway here is that Meg Whitman had no business running HP. That said I admit I am biased against her because of the really really ill informed way she decided important technical issues.
Just in case people don't know how stupid Meg is, she (1) acquired Skype; (2) did not acquire Skype's p2p tech; (3) fucked the Skype founders on an earn out; (4) was apparently shocked when said founders declined to renew the licensing deal for the p2p tech.
What business ebay, an auctions company, had owning Skype was never explained.
