• What is right and what is wrong?
  I guess in this world who ever has bigger voice and bigger reach for the audience is always right?
  
  Was it ethical or right for an HP board member to leak the strategy related information to media?
  
  Was it ethical or right for another board member to back a person who clearly breached HP?s trust?
  
  Was it ethical or right to take extreme measures to protect HP?
  
  Is CNET totally right or ethical in putting out these stories?
  
  For the sake of rightness and virtues please leave HP alone, if there are any decisions to be made, HP management is capable enough for that, there is no need for someone like Charles Cooper to call them idiots. HP?s performance in last year speaks how capable HP management is so let them do the work, just back off.

• Steven Milunovich does not know what he is talking about
  I am a stock holder of HP and follow HP closely.
  
  Imaging and Printing and Rest of HP can not survive without each other, they are symbians who live in harmony for self and each other?s benefit.
  
  Imaging and Printing group mainly makes money on Ink, it is now that they can do it as most of the IP is protected by patents once these patents expire any company in the world including Dell can produce cheap Ink to hurt Imaging and Printing. Similarly the rest of the HP do need the muscle power which they get because of Imaging and Printing in many areas which they will not have if Imaging and Printing was not part of Rest of HP. The whole point of merging with HP was to create a behemoth which will lead the industry by virtue of it?s size and big portfolio.
  
  By splitting HP into two both Imaging and Printing and Rest of the HP will be weak and would not be able to dominate the industry. I would even say that re-merge Agilent back with HP, instead of buying other companies. Agilent cost structure is very lean and mean now, and is very good buying target for HP.
  
  If one can see what happened to Agilent after the split, anyone will agree to my point not splitting with HP. The split will look good in short term which will really benefit people like Steven but will not benefit the real stock holders in long term as it will result in two weak companies.
