Of course HP is evil; they've heavily partnered with Microsoft on
NT 5.0/Win2K/Whatever they're calling it next week, and are the
design partner with Intel on "IA64." They're trying to become the
systems manufacturing partner in the unholy trio, it's just failing
because they insist on making their hardware just weird enough it
won't interoperate with standard hardware or software.
Personally, I think it's a good thing their instruments division is
getting rid of their computer division and keeping the only good
part that came out of computer division - OpenView. I think the
instruments division got first choice. ;^)
