You will never see that day (Score 1)

I'm more or less happy with my HP hardware (not manufactured by HP by the way) However I've never seen an internal application of HPs that was ever more than 'blah'. I have yet to see HP produce any software product for the consumer market that would merit a footnote in a footnote. To be fairly direct I dont think HP has the software engineering acumen to be competitive in that kind of a market and I think it proves that every day when it meets the real world. The problem is the companies management culture, its inability to create a tradition a software engineering excellence and the belief that its management and engineering processes lead the industry. Not close, so not competitive.
