Thanks for response and for non-defensive tone. Food for thought for sure.

"it's HP's offer not ours and they could change their mind before launch. Looks like they won't, but they could. At the end of the day it's an OEM deal and that comes with lots of confidential conditions attached"

perhaps there will be announcement regarding this soon as seems like the cat is likely out of the bag anyway.
