I guess I am lucky because I was able to accept VMS' death quite some
time ago and try to move on.

BCS has passed the point of no return some time ago. In one of her first
speeches as CEO, she even stated that there wasn't anything that could
be done to save BCS and that HP would focus on industry standard servers.

So, for me, I don't see her raise as coinciding with the killing of VMS,
but rather that she was able to cut the dead branches and focus on the
viable branches of HP to make it profitable.

I can see how someone can associate her killing of VMS and getting a
raise at same time to the American Airlines CEO asking unionised
employees for serious wage cuts while he is getting a raise.

But I don't see it this way.  The BCS/Itanic branch has been dead for
some time. And I fault HP for taking so long to start to fess up to it.
It has known/planned for it since LaCarly days, and kept stating that
the ship was not sinking and that we should enjoy dinner in the main
dining room and stop noticing the water flowing into the sinking ship.
