Yes it includes KDE 3.2. Maybe some have noticed Mandrake's recent press release regarding their new development model. The plan is to release a "Community Release", and then a month or two later release the "Official Release" which will be the retail version also.
In this way, they are offering the best of both worlds, the Community Release, which is fairly stable, much more so than cooker; or for those who need a rock solid release that's been tested for several months, there's the Official Release.
I'd expect to see KDE 3.2.1 updates available shortly, and then of course it would be in the 10.0 Official Release.
Take a look at http://opensource.hp.com/ or just do a search for linux from their main page. Any hardware company with half a brain (IBM, HP, Intel, etc...) is moving away from being under the iron fist of MS. Notice how they also tend to be dropping their proprietary Unices also, in favor of Linux.
Of course a huge portion of their business is desktops, and obviously they are still mostly being sold to Win users. But why would they want to lock themselves down to a Windows Media solution if they could avoid it.
Heck I'm happy enough that they're finally supporting my printers with free/open source drivers.:D

They've never done religious holidays. They have done Season's Greetings every year in December.

AAC versus secured WMA, no big surprise here that HP decides to go with the non-MS solution.
