The one I am dealing with is the G1 as in "Generation 1." It seems that
the HP site lists it interchangably either with or without the G1.
Anything G2 or over always has the G# specified.
Is this a way to force enterpize hardware upgrades? Only support the OS
version that was relatively current when the hardware was released so that
upgraded software forces a new hardware purchase. Nice business model, I
guess, but it feels like a hardware upgrade treadmill for the customer.
