It would be interesting to find someone who purchased it and see exactly what
software HP bundles with it.

I mean, come on, HP. You love to bundle software with everything! We can't even
buy a printer from you without getting 1.7 GiB of extra crap on a disc. So what
about FreeDOS? Hmm?

But seriously, though, I wonder if the hardware in this specific laptop is
actually supported under DOS, and perhaps HP supplies drivers for it just like
they would supply drivers for Windows or whatever other OS they would sell
alongside their hardware. Yeah, I know that's probably not the case. But that
would be nice. That would be nice. :)
