Yay! *claps*

Isn't that what Ted has been telling you to an extent - that it's the 
HP/Compaq microcode in the drivers?

Anthony - have you ever setup a new HP/Compaq server? Ever use the 
SmartStart CD's?

In contrast, you CAN'T (hear me again) CAN'T install Windows (shrink 
wrap) on the above without them. It's becasue HP/C has propriatarty 
drivers.

And why is that? I think Ted covered that well.

The inside contact that you have developed at great
expense is the first person to be let go in any
reorganization.
