Dalo Harkin Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Is HP developing its own operating system to avoid Windows? According to a recent BusinessWeek article they’re at least looking into it. The company has supposedly assembled a group of engineers to quietly work on several different ways to avoid a dependence on Microsoft, such as developing software that will essentially bypass certain elements of Vista or even building a competing OS altogether. The operating system would reportedly be Linux-based, but be simpler and easier to use than most Linux distributions available today. HP isn't confirming the report, but it certainly wouldn’t be the first time a Microsoft partner steps up support for Windows alternatives, as many netbook vendors are now offering Linux as the default OS – albeit they are far less popular that Windows-based options.
