- Auzy83 17y agoWell, we also have the base of OSX (Darwin). Does that mean it's useful? NOPE. Because all the core libraries (and aqua) are missing. The packages provided by WebOS are useless too. It's built from a lot more than that. Anyway, it's just some silly rumor masquerading as fact. It's more likely HP will offer something like expressgate, and offer 2 OS's, so that people can use WebOS for basic tasks, and Windows 7 for complex ones (at the cost of greater battery usage).
