Does this announcement mean HP is suggesting that Customers delay or postpone their transition plans?
A1.No. Staying on the HP e3000 any longer than necessary poses risks which should be fully understood and evaluated by each company. It’s hoped that this limited support extension will be an incentive to re-energize the completion of transition plans. For customers who will continue to rely on their HP e3000 beyond 2006, having a level of HP support may temporarily help some of them run their e3000s smoothly while implementing a transition to another HP platform.
