The community is faced with a specific issue of patch availability.

My question stands: it is hopeless to try to fight this move, or is
there a feeling that HP might be responsive and change its mind ?


I find it ironic that as soon as the CEO is replaced by an accountant,
they announce such a bonehead move. I guess the accountant thinks this
will gnerate new revenues.

If this is the shape of things to come at HP, I wouldn't be surprised to
see its stock return to LaCarly levels.
