No Deal With Microsoft, Confirms HP
No Deal With Microsoft, Confirms HP

CEOs from Hewett-Packard have denied any rumours around potential partnerships with Microsoft. The former also strongly denied manufacturing any mobile phone devices that utilized Windows 7, Microsoft’s newly-released software.

According to experts, the rumours were quite naive as it was unsubtly obvious that HP would put its software first and foremost when it comes to market business. HP has pulled a lot of severe effort to acquire this software and to develop it to match the market’s demands and the consumers’ expectations.

The software, destined to be installed by HP in its smartphones, is the one developed by Palm. HP spent $1.2 billion to develop this software after the Company sealed the transaction with Palm in the first week of July. As a result of the merger, HP took control over WebOS, Palm’s mobile operating system working on Linux Kernel.

In a statement for CNBC this Friday, Todd Bradley, HP Senior Executive, confirmed that his Company will depend fully on the WebOS technology, with no other partner software from Windows. Despite this statement, Bradley expressed some hints around the idea that HP would be working on a tablet PC with Windows 7, within sometime.

Although the loss might seem less significant with Microsoft signing other equally lucrative deals with Dell, LG, HLC and Samsung, Microsoft will definitely suffer a somehow loss as a result of HP’s announcements.
