It is rumor that HP will be dropping Microsoft 7 OS from their Slate device. WebOS (most likely) will be their operating system of choice. Last heard is that HP was NOT happy with the performance of Microsoft 7 as a touch screen device. With HP purchasing Palm recently and with it came WebOS, it seems only likely that HP will be using WebOS as their OS for the Slate. HP may also be dropping the Intel processor for something “LESS POWER HUNGARY”. If they go to the new OS they won’t need the Intel processor and thus will gain a few more hours of battery life. Something that they were hammered on in hands on testing. Hp Slate will probably be doing a last minute change of the OS. It is rumor that HP will be dropping Microsoft 7 OS from their Slate device.

Starting an OS from scratch would take years. In my write-up on the same topic, my worry for HP would be Android, not Apple. HP's enterprise customers might like the WebOS for business communications/messaging/emailing/applications, but that's just in theory. RIM dominates the enterprise, but lately, it has not been tough on QA/QC app development by 3rd parties. This is the cost for RIM losing focus on the enterprise side and growing market share/customers on the consumer side. Would scrapping the WebOS be an expensive proposition?
