Windows on Treo. What's the truth?

palmOne Responds to the Pocket PC Rumor (PalmInfocenter.com)

Yesterday, lots of websites and discussion groups discussed about PalmOne coming up with Windows Treo and PalmSource shares even falling due to this speculation. But now, PalmOne spokesperson came out and say:

We believe that the folks at Needham misunderstood our palmOne execs: no one from palmOne expressed the sentiments attributed to us, either at our October 5 Securities Analyst meeting or in the individual analyst meetings that followed.
It's a well-known fact that palmOne has attracted a large and loyal customer base delivering products that employ PalmOS, and that we are committed to a multiyear contract with PalmSource that includes a $40 million minimum annual commitment. We have often said that the PalmOS today has the best combination of power, ease of use, user interface and flexibility to innovate on top of the OS.

Of course, the company is open to evaluating products using additional operating systems if doing so would grow the marketplace or otherwise meet customer needs that currently are not addressed. This is nothing new. In fact, it was part of the rationale for the spin-off -- so that both companies could create their own futures.

This doesn't sound clear. He neither completely deny the rumor nor accept it. Well, I personally wouldn't even go close to treo if it is windows.
