On Wednesday, HP CEO Meg Whitman said that it expects that the company will release its first x86 processor-based PCs with Windows 8 installed sometime before the end of 2012. Today, Whitman gave out a little more information about HP's Windows 8 plans.

The AFP news service (via Yahoo) reports that during a gathering of Silicon Valley-based entrepreneurs and executives, Whitman confirmed that HP would release a Windows 8-based tablet designed for the business market. According to Whitman, the tablet would be created with stronger security features than the normal tablet, such as the iPad, that is made mostly for consumers.
