One car won't save the farm, but it can do wonders for the rest of your products. Ever hear of the Prius?

Does anyone think that Mark Hurd would still have a job with HP if HP was seeing the kind of loss in market share and plummeting stock prices that have gone on under Rick and Bob?
Please don't compare running a heavily white-collar IT company to a heavily blue-collar manufacturing company. That's an apples-to-turtles comparison. Any idiot CEO can outsource manufacturing/engineering/support to China/India, buy up marketshare, and cut workers. Hurd is hardly worthy of that praise.
