Now, they don't explicitly say that the Slate referenced by Balmer will not have Win7 on it, but they do explicitly state that, "Palm will be responsible for webOS software development and webOS based hardware products, from a robust smartphone roadmap to future slate PCs and netbooks."
The real question is just how "future" is "future"? Either way, Microsoft will have HP as a competitor soon enough. |
HP is a hugh company, I don't see why they shouldn't be able to support two different platforms. Other companies of that size do the same (Dell for example supports Windows, Android, Windows Phone 7 in fall, and I believe they have one or two PCs that can be configured to run on Linux).
By the way, I just got my Palm Pre today!
Cost me 240€ including a Touchstone, which is next to nothing compared to it's launch price.
