For what its worth:

In an article in Network World dated 7/21/97, Dick Watts "general manager of
worldwide computer sales at HP", is quoted as saying:

   We recommend, endorse and support CA as the preferred vendor of end-to-end
                enterprise management.

(This was at a CA user conference).

The article says HP was left "scrambling to do damage control, which included
a retraction by the executive".

[I'm posting this 7 days after the event because, ironically enough, I spent
last week at an HP OpenView training class.]
