UPDATED: Ouster of Leo Apotheker would end a mighty short run

(Update: It’s official.)

Kara Swisher is reporting on All Things D:

Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman is poised to be named the new CEO of Hewlett-Packard later today after the markets are closed, said multiple sources close to the situation.

The full board of HP, which is meeting today in Silicon Valley, has not officially voted on move and the situation could certainly change, sources said it is nearly a done deal.

This would mean the  Leo Apotheker era last less than a year.
