Remember me saying that - get ready, Linux is coming - well it's here

Hewlett-Packard (HP) will be putting webOS on every desktop and
notebook by end of 2011.

What is webOS?

Not sure about above statement from Wikipedia webOS page, that it will
run "within" MS Windows, I think that is wrong.  Why bother, since it
already runs on Linux kernel.  Wonder which boot-loader will be used.
