HP OfficeJet 7310xi Installation
I recently had the extreme displeasure of installing Hewlett Packard's setup software for this great all-in-one unit that I've had for a while on my Mac G5 and I couldn't believe my eyes. When I launched the installer, it told me that I had no choice but to quit every single open application. It would NOT let me continue until I had complied with that requirement.
Isn't this the year 2006? Isn't the "you must close all applications" game something from the early 90's and Windows 3.11? This need for the installation program to close all open applications seems completely rediculous and obsene to me. Talk about your throw-backs to ancient times...
Grow up, HP software department. Grow up.
