Not quite.

Windows, like Linux, assumes a certain architecture: one or more processors connected to volatile memory that holds transient data and much slower persistent storage that is required to preserve a consistent state for long periods.

You don't see "Windows for D-Wave computers" and you won't see "Windows for HP's The Machine".

Any new OS will have to, at least, have a POSIX API if it wants to be used from day one, but, from that point, HP is free to invent.

I wish them luck.
