HP is clever in their Spyware[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#13)

It is not an easy thing to go against a giant. HP & the big MS .Net Framework. I was unable to install the HP software until I edited my registries keys to give them access. HP claimed it was a .Net error, just remove .Net frameworks and then reinstall using their .Net included on the CD! When this did not resolve the error, I was able to do a search on google and found that if I open up some keys and give HP access to them, then everything was fine... So now next time I need ink, will I be directed to office depot or staples. I guess who ever paid them for the privileged of being allowed access to my computer via HP! Thanks HP for your continued effort to subvert the dollar to sweeten your pocket!
