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.
Who gives a rat’s a$$ about some former CEO or whatever? My uncle has cancer, and he was a mechanic all his life, but he is just as important as she is. I am sick of turning everyone into a celebrity just because they did their job.
