As you all might know that Microsoft is going to launch Windows 8 some where near October this year. Windows 8 will be the first Windows OS that will be compatible with X86/X64 as well as ARM architecture. This will enable PC makers to use Windows 8 on their future tablets their by expanding the base of Windows OS.
The all new Metro design on Windows 8 is actually designed to be compatible with touch screen devices but the same design will be available on your PC also. This change is not welcomed by PC users at all and many discussions are going around the web that Windows 8 will get poor response from PC users. The missing start button adds to the disliking of Windows 8 by PC users.
But now as per the latest reports Microsoft is thinking about launching their own tablet to have a tighter control on both the software and hardware features of the device same as Apple. The new rumoured tablet from Microsoft is expected to come on two avatars.
- One is the tablet with ARM based processor
- The other one include Intel based mobile processors.
It will also be interesting to note that what will be the reaction of PC makers to this report. Microsoft is going on the path of Google. As Google controls the hardware in the form of Motorola mobility and also have Nexus series phones from Samsung.
