That's what the late Dave would have said!!

HP will act in HP's best interest...period.  I've seen nothing come from
them that even hints at putting their customer's needs ahead of theirs.
This is the NEW HP, remember?  And I'm not singling out Dave Wilde or
anyone else.  HP employees are probably under tremendous pressure to
justify their jobs by showing profits, and giving away MPE would probably
cost you your job.
