Whitman said that HP will cooperate with Microsoft and no longer use itself Web OS system. Todd Bradley, executive vice president of HP's printing and personal systems division, said HP's Windows 8 tablet will be configured with cloud storage, allowing users to share and store content online between different devices.
In February last year, Hewlett-Packard released the WebPad-based Tablet TouchPad, but after only half a year, HP announced the suspension of the operation of the TouchPad tablet and Web OS software system due to poor sales. Subsequently, the HP TouchPad's move to clear the position of $99 made this product set off the final sales boom.

Some analysts believe that HP's move suggests that the chances of a resurrection of the Web OS platform are even smaller. Hewlett-Packard spent $1.8 billion to acquire Palm in July 2010 and plans to build mobile devices with its Web OS platform.
