eBay is a shadow of what it could have been, and so I really can’t compliment her on her tenure there. She was on a rocket ship and took it to the moon instead of to mars. HP on the other hand was as tough as a gig as Yahoo. I don’t know how you turn around a company like that. HP is a zombie company living off of its legacy.

Meg Whitman joined eBay when it had 30 employees. Even if it ended up worth tens of billions of dollars instead of hundreds of billions of dollars, I think she really deserves a lot of credit for its success.
