On the other hand, Jobs had founded the corp, had an almost mythical aura and the previous executive team had spent a decade fucking up Apple.

Oh, and he refocused the company on its original core business, where Apotheker is moving HP away from its historical roots.

HP no longer has historical roots, it spun them off into Agilent some time ago.

yeah, that seems to be the common analysis of the move: the founder's vision was abandoned a while ago, they're just setting fire to the remnants junking the yard.
