My experience with HP has also been quite bad lately. In the past I have bought some items for personal use and been happy (specially about a HP48GX calculator ;-) but now I think I'm **NOT** going to buy a thing from them, not anymore: - I bougth a HP815C printer... no drivers for linux for half a year, no support, the model does not come in cartridges so you have to memorize the cartridge number, ... all just because they decided to launch this model only in Europe... - Later on I bought a HP525 pda. Again *NO* web support!!! I think a pda is no cheap enough to say you are going to provide marginal support. They have cut that model production (and support) but they don't release how to make linux work on it (I know they were planning to launch a linux version but they stopped the project)... Every little stupid thing or software is quite expensive and it hangs (has WidowsCE) very often (much more than normal Windows).
In my opinion, best way to make companies people oriented is to force them to. Opposite to this is e.g. Mandrake, were even being their product free, many people end up involved and pay to just support it...
