HP drops Windows 7 from Slate tablet

,----[ Quote ]
| The site claims that HP could also be about 
| to abandon Intel hardware. If both the OS 
| and microprocessor go, the obvious 
| conclusion is that HP is looking to use 
| WebOS, a dedicated Smartphone platform it 
| acquired as part of this week's surprise 
| deal to buy Palm.

HP's Slate was an Ugly Baby with Windows 7

| The existing WebOS application base of
| 1500+ programs, while not huge, will run
| pretty much as-is with some simple re-
| packaging and screen optimization, because
| the apps are all written in the lingua
| franca of the Web, HTML and Javascript, and
| are completely CPU platform neutral.

Microsoft kills its Courier folding tablet

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1603744/microsoft-kills-courier-folding-tablet


Is the new Palm-equipped HP killing the Slate tablet?

,----[ Quote ]
| Techcrunch is reporting that Hewlett-
| Packard is killing off its Slate tablet
| before it comes to market.
|
| The reasoning, according to a Techcrunch
| source, is that HP isn't happy with the
| performance of Window 7 as a tablet
| operating system. That means HP will be
| shopping around for a new operating system
| such as Google's Android OS or they could
| be fixing to convert Palm's webOS for
| tablets.

| One thing holds true: the longer I use Ubuntu,
| the happier I become with the system. When
| Windows 7 came out, I moved almost completely
| away from Windows and I havenât looked back.
| With the extra control I have to customize my
| computer to suit my needs, the extra money
| that I have from not paying for expensive
| programs and the extra time I have as a result
| of being able to quickly solve any problems
| that arise, Iâm free to dabble in the endless
| possibilities of a Linux-based computer.
