5 questions for Meg Whitman, HP’s new CEO

  1. Will you still try to spin off or sell HP’s market-leading PC business?
  2. Will you still try to shut down or sell the WebOS hardware business?
  3. Will you try to make HP a leader in tablet and smartphone software?
  4. Will you keep, promote, or let go of Todd Bradley and Jon Rubinstein?
  5. Will you be CEO of HP in a year? (And why are you doing this, anyway?)

(It’s official. Meg Whitman, former eBay CEO, is in, and Leo Apotheker is out.)

Update: In a conference call, Meg addressed the first 3 questions… by telling everyone that HP is still trying to figure all of that out.
