It was more a statement of free availability than anything else. Not everyone has MS Office. Still, it just seems like using a broom to comb your hair. It'll get the job done, but there are actual combs.

I think that they've involved with using HP **** like printers and such, but it's hard to get straight answers. They randomly seem to use upwards of 60% of my CPU's power, and for seemingly an indefinite period of time. So I need to know if I can safely get rid of them (I can still download them from HP's website if necessary) or I should just disable them until I do need them.

Unless you know what you're doing, then do that. It's pretty much RAM bloat, and is basically a catch-all for any issues regarding their products. It's a "Terminate and Stay Resident" application that will continually monitor your PC for any HP related issues that are hard coded into it's core system. If it were my PC, I'd remove it entirely.
