He's not suggesting that the stock price fluctuated as wildly as it did, and employees "revolted" against Leo solely because of webOS, is he? Did he forget that Leo did announce one other thing that day: that the hardware division of HP (which wasn't bleeding cash) would be spun off into a new company, and HP would be taking a gamble with software services? Dump something that you bought one year ago, who cares but the fanboys. Dump something that HP has been doing for decades, and heads will roll. If you ask me, they should've given their hardware division more time to come up with a winning tablet, if not running webOS then running either Android or Windows 8 (seeing how HP and Microsoft are "intimate" partners"). Give the hardware division a chance to reverse course while it is still not a cash drain on HP. Then, if HP can't break into the high-margin tablet market, dump the hardware division.
