webOS is not shutting down.
Recent rumors speculating from an irreponsable site that generalize here posted Oct 28, 2011 at 07:18 BST UK,have said ONE webOS employee told them : “"There's a 95% chance we all get laid off between now and November, and I for one am thinking it's for the best,", is circulating now around the web tech sites, taking it as valid source.
Dear reader I remember you that yesterday Oct 27, 2011 in a worldwide public webcast Meg Whitman, President and Chief Executive Officer; Cathie Lesjak, Chief Financial Officer ; and Todd Bradley, EVP of the Personal Systems Group, recently answered to the question we transcript from HP themselves and made by
Bill Shope - Goldman Sachs – Analyst
Okay, great.Thanks, guys. In light of this decision, can you give us an update on how you're thinking about your tablet market strategy, both near term and longer term?
Todd Bradley - Hewlett Packard Co. - EVP, Personal Systems Group
Well Bill, this is Todd. That thinking hasn't changed.We're continuing to focus on a Microsoft-based-- the tablet that we have and the ones that will develop on Windows 8.
I think from a webOS perspective, that's kind of the next piece of work to complete. I know Meg and I are working, Meg, the whole team of Meg, Cathie, myself, Jon Rubinstein working very, very hard and as quickly as we can to make the right decisions about that product.
Meg Whitman - Hewlett Packard Co. - President and CEO
Let me just add, I think we need to be in the tablet business, and we are certainly going to be there with Windows 8. And so we're going to make another run at this business. And we're going to make a decision about the long-term future of webOS within HP over the next couple of months. And as soon as we make that decision, we'll let you know on that.
Because many people have said to me, well isn't the webOS decision just completely tied to PSG? The answer to that is actually no. webOS is, has obviously use in the PSG business, but also in other businesses that we have. So it's actually-- we have to make a more holistic decision around webOS, which coming to a town near you soon, I hope.

Just to clarify your review of webOS, you mean the software, not the webOS tablet.
Meg Whitman - Hewlett Packard Co. - President and CEO
Correct, correct.The software. Right, the software.
Bill Shope - Goldman Sachs - Analyst
Great.Thank you very much.
So, if you are a responsible webos fan or writer , don´t believe others sources crap. Thank You.
