I don't like Whitman, at all.

The HP Way would have been to promote.
Fiorina replaced the HP Way with servitude to Wall Street. I'd even argue its demise goes back to the Agilent spin-off; that's the original Bill & Dave business and they tossed it aside even when it was doing fine.

OTOH spinning off PCs might actually be a belated case of undoing Fiorina's biggest error, to the extreme. It may seem awful to the company now, but $40B in annual sales for a reported $1.3B in net profit is also holding the stock down.
