Two large institutional investors have filed suit against Hewlett-Packard, alleging that the computer maker violated its own severance cap when it doled out a multimillion-dollar payment to ousted CEO Carly Fiorina.
The appointment of NCR chief Mark Hurd to head up Hewlett-Packard is a sign the board is committed to keeping HP intact, analysts say.
When history looks back on the tenure of Carly Fiorina as the CEO of HP, the conclusion is likely to be that she was charismatic, but tried to compensate for the lack of a consistent vision through a lot of acquisitions and management changes.
The sudden departure of Carly Fiorina from HP on Wednesday sparked a frenzy of speculation over the identity of her replacement as chief executive.
Open source and proprietary software backers are going head-to-head for all the wrong reasons, and their resources and efforts could be better spent concentrating on beefing up applications, says Gartner.

Following approval by HP shareholders earlier this week for the Compaq Computer acquisition, the question remains as to how this will impact the Australian marketplace.
Compaq Computer shareholders have voted 9-to-1 in favour of a deal which may see Hewlett-Packard acquire Compaq, however, the struggle is not over, with the Hewlett family continuing to campaign vigorously against any merger.
With less than a week remaining before the HP shareholder vote on the proposed acquisition of Compaq, CEO Carly Fiorina is making an all-out effort to persuade fence sitters to support the deal.
HP believes that retaining executive talent is what will make the Compaq merger succeed. But history shows that heroes with lofty resumes aren't always enough to turn things around.
