It certainly demonstrates the animosity between Lynch and the new regime under Whitman.
I'm not sure that necessarily helps HP's position - HP appear to have been fully aware of the steaming pile they'd just paid a lot of money for very quickly after writing the cheque.
I'm also amused at HP repeatedly going on about the Autonomy's hardware reselling practices - I don't think it helps HP's case to say they were surprised Autonomy were doing it when HP's cunning plan appeared to rely on selling hardware with Autonomy software on it. Maybe something they could have checked during due diligence?
