Hi,
HP-ThinPro-7-2-OS-will-be-available-on-select-devices-this-December.494945.0.html
Says HP ThinPro 7.2 -- HP's OEM'd build of Ubuntu -- is late.
Your original article didn't address the key question of existing HP ThinPro 7 users -- Has HP yet updated the release of Ubuntu that ThinPro is based-on to a more recent Ubuntu release than 16.04LTS that is now very long in the tooth?
HP corrected their HP 7.2 Datasheet GetDocument.aspx?docname=4AA7-8412ENW. Before September last year, it referred to it as "ThinPro 2". HP's own, updated, Datasheet, doesn't say what release of Ubuntu ThinPro 7.2 is based-on. Perhaps it has told it's big corporate clients so that they can plan, but January 2021, the rest of us are still guessing.
HP's Thin Client OS Official Site thin-clients/operating-systems.html still says "coming soon" for the Datasheet BTW.
I'm no journalist, but the fact that HP were advertising Product Manager of Thin Clients in Texas last year, and seeing some CVs, didn't amount to a ramping-up of the division.
HP ThinPro 7.2 is late. The new feature list ticks the corporate box but is thin on may fronts compared with HPs rivals in Thin Client computing. And ThinPro 7.2 is an unknown quantity for any small business developing or supporting around the release of Ubuntu HP are basing the long-awaited 7.2 on.
