		brudgers on Jan 21, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: HP promotes Windows 7 PCs When was the last time HP made the front page of HN? Probably something about how they should sell their hardware business or spin it off. But when was the last time they made the front page because of a laptop or other consumer product? They're only putting Windows 7 on PC's to get their name in the news.

Funny, I was under the impression that they're installing Windows 7 because Win8 sucked.

They wouldn't be doing this if they didn't think more people are interested in Windows 7 than Windows 8. That would be a pretty silly reason to "get their name in the news", otherwise.
