Possible new Platform for LC - WebOS

http://www.pcworld.com/article/221866/w ... k.rss_news

"Hewlett-Packard CEO Leo Apotheker has made it clear: Starting next year, the company's WebOS mobile operating system will run on pretty much every laptop or desktop that HP ships. And that's good news for HP customers--and end users in general--who increasingly find themselves juggling more and more data across multiple computing devices.

WebOS, of course, is currently an also-ran in a mobile OS market increasingly dominated by Google Android and Apple iOS. HP badly needs software developers to write apps for its mobile OS, and the WebOS-everywhere strategy is designed to lure them in.

"By installing WebOS on future PCs, HP potentially grows the WebOS user base by orders of magnitude too great for developers to ignore," writes Mainelli.

Well it will apparently just run as a virtual machine for the WebOS applications but the machines will still just be pre-installed with Windows so you know which OS is going to prevail (hint: the one that looks and acts like a pile of vomit ;-) )
