HP Will Release a “Revolutionary” New Operating System in 2015

Hewlett-Packard will take a big step toward shaking up its own troubled business and the entire computing industry next year when it releases an operating system for an exotic new computer.

The company’s research division is working to create a computer HP calls The Machine. It is meant to be the first of a new dynasty of computers that are much more energy-efficient and powerful than current products. HP aims to achieve its goals primarily by using a new kind of computer memory instead of the two types that computers use today. The current approach originated in the 1940s, and the need to shuttle data back and forth between the two types of memory limits performance.

Hopefully, this operating system, and its update would be free for people who buy The Machine made by HP.

I hope it turns out well.

Sounds interesting, its a very hard market to brake so I hope they manage.

My guest is that HP will just bundle the operating system with their new computer called "The Machine", and it won't be available without buying "The Machine" computer like how you need to buy an Apple computer if you want to use the Mac OS X operating system.

HP is probably not planning to make the operating system as popular as Windows, or Mac OS X, but planning to make it a great operating system for "The Machine", so many buyers will buy The Machine instead of other computers with generic operating systems like Windows, and Ubuntu.

But it needs to be popular enough to get developer support or will it be comparable with windows supported programs?

I think the operating system, and The Machine will mainly be used in Servers which main purpose is to host files, and websites, so it probably won't use many programs and apps except for a few programs to serve files, folders, websites, and apps to its users.

 

The Machine is designed to compete with the servers that run corporate networks and the services of Internet companies such as Google and Facebook. Bresniker says elements of its design could one day be adapted for smaller devices, too.
