Not all bribery is illegal or even unethical. Bribery is only illegal if it is used to induce someone to break a law.
Boy this is a great circular argument.
Bribery is by it's primary definition a violation of the law or at least unethical. According to Websters, if it isn't illegal or unethical then it isn't bribery. Can you please provide a dictionary definition of bribery that agrees with your concocted definition?
By it's secondary definition, you could call it bribery if you offer a company official or purchasing agent a "personal incentive" to select an HP system when that decision is otherwise in all respects the wrong decision for the company to make. In HP's case they are offering the incentive to the actual company and the incentive then becomes part of deciding what is in the company's best interests.
If this were AMD making the offer there's no way you would be torturing logic this way.
