It seems more than any one specific CEO, the HP board has proven itself unfit to oversee the company. It's not incomprehensible that the best thing they could do for shareholder value and to protect their employees jobs would be breaking HP up and finding buyers. After all, aside from the earnings shortfalls all the big picture problems the market has with Apotheker have all been board approved. Perhaps Ellison wasn't just blowing smoke when he said "The HP board just made the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple (AAPL.O) board fired Steve Jobs many years ago" about Hurd.
