 When someone from HP says a system comes with a certain software 
package, or that the system does something, is that an opinion?
It wasnt/isnt clear to me.
 What i learned in the past week was:
   
     If it says *.hp.com in the header, it is an hp employee (no friends,
        relatives, but could be a janitor 8-)  Read the header.
     no one is offically representing HP when they post here
     nothing official is posted via this list
     Disclaimers dont mean anything
     
 since no one else seems to have a problem with the posts like i have 
had, ill assume that everyone knows that everything is an opinion and
to check w/ HP for the real scoop. (1-800-752-0900)

ps: i still dont feel comfortable with all these assumtions, but i consider
    the topic dropped.
