Fox’s Anonymous Source™ says HP’s playing with Windows 8 on TouchPad as a “proof of concept”–which means even if A) This is true and B) It runs well on the TouchPad, it might still never become a reality. After all, at some point soon there might not even be a computer company named HP anymore.
But here’s a question–do you want this to be true? Part of the TouchPad’s renaissance owed something to WebOS’ cult following. Of course, the $US100 liquidation sale sure helped. [Fox News]
