What a joke.

Surely this has completely destroyed the value of this software.

Hard to imagine any good software written by HP anyway.

Don't they employ lowest cost programmers? Heck the probably designed it using UML or something silly like that, with hundreds of business analysts and vast numbers of stakeholder meetings all working to reach consensus, before getting all those lowest cost programmers to try to write what they think the spec might mean - all truly inspired software is written this way.

ArcSight was an acquisition if I remember correctly, and it would have avoided a lot of the HP/E Software issues as a result.
