I never understood how they could choose Apotheker.
He was literally fired from SAP in less than a year and yet HP got him as a CEO.
WebOS had its flaws,but it could have made HP market leader - at that time Apple was far from “enterprise ready”, Android even less so, so if they had done it right they would have every CIO in their pocket within 4 years.
But of course that doesn’t count for the next quarterly shareholder report. And Apotheker had to go “all in” on Software, because that’s what he, the salesman he is, sold them.
