According to sources, employees in the hp pc department are developing an operating system for the mass market, which is mainly developed based on Linux but will be customized for mainstream consumers. Hewlett-Packard hopes to reduce its reliance on Microsoft and compete for Apple users, the person said. Apple's Mac computer is installed with a self-developed operating system and claims to be more user-friendly than Vista.
Although HP did not confirm the above news, the company had not previously denied the establishment of a new team for developing touch screen technology and TouchSmartPC-specific software, which allows the PC to bypass some of Vista's features, to better complete multimedia playback tasks.
