... if I make some unfavourable remarks about HP's claims and it really annoys you, then I'm afraid I can't help it. What I had tried to point out (for the second time) was that, although HP claims a lot of Linux friendlyness (yes they also sponsor the sane web site), the other side of the medal is that in other areas the difference between HP and Microsoft is remarkably close to zero. Mark seems to have come to a similar conclusion. I didn't mean to say HP is always bad, just that it's not always good. Actually I find it quite ironic that HP sponsors the sane site, but when it comes to sane-support for their own products is as anti-sane as possible.

Does that mean HP is pro-Linux as long as it's not treading on Microsoft's territory? Does that leave an aftertaste?
