I believe "bribing" is a proper word.

Yes, it is a proper word but it isn't the proper word here.

Perhaps you should consult a dictionary.

bribe:

1) anything, esp. money, given or promised to induce a person to do something illegal or wrong.

2) anything given or promised to induce a person to do something against his wishes.

Now unless you are claiming that buying an HP system is illegal or wrong, or at the least against a company's wishes, I think the word is incorrectly used here. However, knowing the vivid imagination of some of the posters here perhaps the Inquirer has convinced them that buying from HP, because of their use of Itanium processors, is an illegal act of wrong doing. It wouldn't surprise me in the least.
