Microsoft 70-669 TS by Xu Lingling
That article quotes HP CEO Leo Apotheker as saying the move would create "a massive platform" and help differentiate the company's broad family of products from its rivals. HP's webOS Microsoft 70-669 TS PCs will apparently dual-boot with Windows.
If you listen to some of the pundits' reactions, the bell may be readying to toll for Microsoft and Windows. The improvement in smartphones' capabilities (and battery life) has seen a corresponding decline in the need for separate, portable media players.
That report comes courtesy of Bloomberg, and I've reached out to Microsoft for some confirmation. If true, the news should come as a surprise to exactly nobody, considering how the player failed to make a dent in the Apple iPod's reigning market share.
Personally, I applaud HP's move. I have no idea how an operating system built for a smartphone will work on a PC, but I've always liked webOS, and I think competition is good for everyone in a particular market. But until HP announces it'll dump Windows entirely, I wouldn't toll the bell for Microsoft quite yet.
Bloomberg's report suggests that Microsoft will continue to bake its Zune software into Windows Phone 7. This is essential, because the Zune-branded storefront is Microsoft's hub for music and media purchases. Microsoft apparently plans to keep manufacturing the existing Zune HD, without releasing new-and-improved versions.
Even Apple has seen sales of its Microsoft 70-669 TS traditional iPod fall over the past several quarters, a phenomenon the company attributes to the rise of the iPhone and iPod Touch. That trend is less to blame for the Zune HD's death, however, than an anemic marketing campaign by Microsoft, coupled by a failure to persuade consumers that their device represented a value-add over the iPod.
Even if HP manages to execute on its plan to bring webOS to all its PCs, and even if it persuades developers to design a massive portfolio of useful and fun applications for the platform, and even if consumers and IT pros overcome any natural hesitation in embracing new and relatively unknown, and even if webOS manages to integrate a whole host of legacy applications without requiring users to switch over to Windows, it's unlikely that it'll erode Microsoft's market-share in any appreciable way, especially considering that HP is keeping the Windows option as a dual-boot.
The Zune HD attracted some strong reviews in the wake of its September 2009 release. Personally, I thought it a solid piece of hardware with a nifty software interface, and something that probably should have gained more market share than it did. If it's truly dead, then R.I.P.
Galen Gruman over at InfoWorld is calling HP's move the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back. "I fully expect all the dark mutterings I've been hearing off the record about Microsoft's rudderless mobile efforts and lack of interest in a new version of Windows will go public," he wrote March 10, before suggesting those frustrations represent "an eerie parallel" to "what's happening in North Africa and the Middle East today."
Meanwhile, Betanews' Joe Wilcox also decided it was time to start singing the doom song, albeit in a somewhat more moderated way: "If HP's WebOS strategy plays out - and surely that means someday shipping only its OS rather than paying Windows license fees - Microsoft will lose revenues and its most important strategic partner."
