The time to speak up and take a stand was before launch, not after.

Nobody can do a good job in that position surrounded by hysterical managers that only want excels and powerpoints. Now Duarte 
is at Google where I think he found a little more peace, proof of it is his amazing work at the upcoming ICS (android 4)

Finally, HP gave up and made it open-source.
