Comments Off on Windows 8 For Tablets To Be Outed

There is a rumor circulating around the Internet that Microsoft will demo Windows 8 for tablets next week at All Things D and Computex.  That said, Bloomberg is said to have cited a source from within Microsoft that confirmed Windows 8 tablet OS will be showcased at these events next week.  They went on to say the tablet will be demoed using a Tegra based ARM processor.

Over the years Microsoft has totally dedicated their Windows operating system to x86 based processors, specifically Intel and AMD.  However, things have changed as smartphones and tablets use has skyrocketed using non x86 processors.  This trend left Microsoft no choice but to join the ARM party or be left totally in the dust. As Microsoft showed off the new features in Windows Phone Mango update this week; they were also in the process of getting the tablet version of Windows 8 out as soon as possible.

Comments Off on Microsoft Rebukes Intel

Microsoft is pouring water on Intel’s assertions that legacy Windows current programs won’t operate on Windows 8 for ARM processors.  Yesterday, Intel made the claim and Microsoft’s Steven Sinofsky came to the rescue of Microsoft and said that Intel’s statements were “factually inaccurate and unfortunately misleading.” Mr Sinofsky went on to say that Microsoft’s development goals were clear and that the technology was still in its demonstration stage.  That was an extremely vague statement right?  So Microsoft is still working out the kinks.

We also need to say that Sinofsky never gave any hard-core specifics and there was never any clarification as to what Intel’s error was in their statement.

Comments Off on Windows 8 Coming To Arm

Yesterday Microsoft said they have their next iteration of the Windows OS running on a 1GHz ARM processor.  If you remember earlier this year Microsoft stated that they were working hard to introduce a version of their Windows OS for the ever increasing popularity ARM architecture.

While Microsoft takes a breather from the x86 architectures to focus on ARM; the calculated move gives Microsoft access to hardware running Nvidia’s Tegra, Qualcomm Snapdragons, and Samsung Hummingbirds which may help Windows grow even more. Therefore, it appears that the tranquil relationship between Microsoft and Intel aka Wintel alliance, is starting to show cracks.
