    It may be the coop advertising. From what I hear, if you mention NT used in your products, 50% of your advertising being paid by Microsoft can make or break your advantage over competitors. So HP has some NT and Intel featured in their ads and may be getting most generous help. Granted, those advertisements seem like oxymorons to me: "the unstoppable Windows NT!" I have always viewed HP products as bulletproof lab equipment and calculators that retain full value over the decades. You just may have to do a Linux conversion with their computers so they may be useful after the first year.
