Then you mention people followed her lead...please. Was Hurt, who cut R&D, trying to make HP the old company that was a creator not a follower following her? Plus his use of hookers - help. Then the next guy lasted what 6 months - he was planing to sell all the harware divisions built over two generations. Meg may still save HP. But they can't figure out that selling printer ink at huge profit margins and that never empty the package is a rip off and customers know it.
Based on your reply, it is clear you have know idea what HP was.
