Again, here is a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is
doing.  HP learned that they couldn't sell more MPE boxes because they were
too good, so this guy in marketing thinks, "Hey!  I have an idea.  Can we
make these things crash every month or so and then we can sell more
services.  You know, kinda' the way Gartner generates revenue..."

The rest is Dilbert History.
