“Well, I didn’t see this coming. HP CEO Leo Apotheker,
according to Bloomberg/Newsweek said that “every one of the PCs
shipped by HP will include the ability to run WebOS in addition to

have been very reluctant to offer desktop Linux. This has been
because they were afraid of upsetting the 800-pound gorilla of
desktop operating systems: Microsoft.”
