Linkbait. Windows would have to be re-coded, which is easier with open-source.

- rbanffy 12y agoNot quite. Windows, like Linux, assumes a certain architecture: one or more processors connected to volatile memory that holds transient data and much slower persistent storage that is required to preserve a consistent state for long periods. You don't see "Windows for D-Wave computers" and you won't see "Windows for HP's The Machine". Any new OS will have to, at least, have a POSIX API if it wants to be used from day one, but, from that point, HP is free to invent. I wish them luck.
