HP prepping Windows 8 tablets?

Fast Company reports HP may offer Windows 8 tablets:

Any chance of a Windows 8 tablet, though? "We currently have a product shipping today called the Slate 500, and to be quite honest that product has been doing quite well," he says. "So that's a Windows 7 version, and then we'll have the TouchPad coming out [with WebOS]."

So is it safe to assume there will also be a Windows 8 tablet? A long pause. McKinney literally offers no answer but wears a big grin and after a few moments lets out a loud laugh. The subject is changed, but his coy expression tells me a Windows 8-based HP tablet will likely come to market in addition to the WebOS-based TouchPad.
