Many also don’t like her for what she did to HP.

....And many of us believe much of HP's success so close to her departure was due to things she put in place in anticipation of pending market changes.

In any case, get well Carly!

Don’t get me started on HP! The customer service is pitiful.

Well, she made HP into the biggest PC vendor in terms of sales, and second best in terms of quality - a distant second after Apple, but still better than Dell and the rest. She was a respectable CEO. If HP wasn't neck-deep in the stinking crap of Microsoft operating systems, she could have done better on improving the quality of HP products.

The scandals at HP have gotten much worse since she left and Mark Hurd took over. The chairman and some employees got caught in a pretexting scandal and were forced to resign, and some executives have been prosecuted and convicted in other matters.

I wish Carly a speedy recovery.
