It seems that the new webOS operating system will not be limited to tablets and smartphones. HP is going to introduce webOS on other platforms - desktops and laptops. Deliveries of computers and laptops with a new operating system should begin by the end of 2011.
And this is probably great news for webOS application developers, for whom the market will open with about 100 million devices.
What does all this mean for Microsoft? At the moment, the company is the largest supplier of the Windows 7 operating system. About 90 percent of all users who have a home computer or laptop work with this OS. But with the release of webOS on these platforms, Microsoft will have a rather serious competitor.
According to the Business Insider news blog, webOS can be run on top of Windows. There will be programs similar to the shell TouchSmart from the same HP.
