"one customer who has a poor experience is one too many,” said Jon Flaxman"

So HP is apologizing a bit, pointing out they'll do it again ("Mr. Flaxman said HP would continue such practices, which may prevent some third-party supplies from working.") and offers more transparency. I can imagine transparency is a new paragraph in the user manual or a checkbox to tick to install the software.
