It is pretty clear to me that NSK customers have told HP in no uncertain
terms that they will not allow HP to kill off NSK. It is a high margin
product and they will pay for it because their business really depands
on it (think NASDAQ).

And with OMX owned by NASDAQ, I have my suspicion that they will be
producing NSK software before long.

HP will maintain it because it is high profile stuff even if the
revenues are not very big compared to ink.
