will MIcrosoft's sinking drag down Intel ??
I think Windows 8 will be generally successful on the tablets (both ARM
& x86), not entirely sure there is anything compelling about it on traditional PC's though. I'm sure there will be a few upgraders to Windows 8, or most likely most people will just get it preinstalled with their latest PC's and they won't have any choice on the matter. Windows 8 actually looks like it may be going backwards on the PC vs. Windows 7, as it's going to be removing the Aero interface. However, Microsoft has made one giant move towards embracing ARM by making its own ARM-based tablet: Microsoft's Surface Tablets Raise the Bar for PC Pals - Businessweek http://www.businessweek.com/articles...-for-pc-rivals There's supposed to be a bigger tablet which will likely be x86 announced in a couple of months though. It may either be AMD or Intel, no word yet. Yousuf Khan On 12/06/2012 11:14 PM, JJ wrote: LOL... sadly true. But Windows 8 is a gamble by Microsoft. If it does suck, it'll suck, and people will just keep Windows 7. Microsoft will eventually had to follow demands. Besides, Windows 8 is more focused for embedded devices. PCs will still live on. Intel will live on. Haven't you see "The Last Mimzy"? Yousuf wrote in news:4fd58077 @news.bnb-lp.com: On 10/06/2012 7:01 AM, Intel Guy wrote: But - the post didn't seem particularly troll-ish. How much of Intel's business is in some way tied to a Microsoft OS? Probably 99%. Yousuf Khan |
