    Good grief. HP's product lineup has become so overloaded with buzz word laced marketing techno-babble that it makes me want to sick up. I know quite a few people in HP, and a good chunk of them don't understand what half of this lot is about either. What chance have their customers got?

Instead of going back to basics they just ploughed on regardless and - years later - are now stuck with the plate of alphabet spaghetti they have today.

    I hope their salesmen are well paid and well trained. They're going to need them.

    Just a bunch of branding bundles and vaporware. What a steaming pile.
