but you have to wonder why she would bother to go thru all this hassle That's a good point to start! When she joined HP, the PC business was already a loser, there was some challenge from cartridge refillers (who merely changed their tactic in light of the court judgement) to the cash cow, the HPUX wasn't going gangbusters despite quality claims over Solaris, and HP-services was something no one had heard of. Pretty dismal, eh? From day one, I'd submit, she knew exactly what she wanted. Remember her slip when she said the merger was a result of several years' careful planning? This was at odds with her earlier claim that it grew out of a phone call from Mike Capellas 2001 spring which was less than a year old. Ah, Freud! We know how that goes. Did you see Sanders the other day, boldly predicting - in an interview with Maria B of CNBC - the #1 spot for his baby over the coming decade... Her base pay itself is pretty good; and consider the glory of bypassing IBM - a feat not accomplished in nearly a half century of carefully planned mergers & acquisitions... regards -d
