Microsoft Unveiling Windows 8 on Tablet Next Week

[back_by_demand]

[citation][nom]mcd023[/nom]dude, if there was a good pilot chart tool for it, I'd buy it. Actually, I'm learning to develop for WP7, so maybe in a year I will have written my own, then I could buy the tablet and get rid of the iPad! (great programs, hate iOS)[/citation]
Is there a great pilot chart tool for ordinary Windows?
Then this will run it.
The hardware it is on seems pretty much irrelevant, if you have a tablet it can have a touch interface, then snap your fngers and VOILA!!! It runs desktop Windows as well.

If only Apple had done this with OSX it would have been so much better, but that would have meant allowing people freedom and choice, and Steve just can't let you get away with that...

The sun does not shine from Steve Jobs ass, Apple has done enough intellectual theft to make even the most hardcore Mac fan blush.
Before you open your mouth, know your facts.
Enough said.

Lots of MS fanboys at Tom's, tools.

It'll be good to see,but I'm not a great fan of bringing in new operating systems regularly. I'd rather them fix the old ones up first. Also keep XP for a whole lot longer to.

 

[nikkidpartypooper]

Yeah! I'd have to agree with "Wish I Was Wealthy". He's just so right!

OK, so two years from now when the first service pack come out for windows 8 (full OS).
Maybe then will I get off windows 7..
Because right now I feel it's too soon for windows 8.

Microsoft was suppose to have a "major announcement" for CES 2012. Most people seem to think it was Windows 8, but I still don't think so, considering Windows 8 has been getting a lot of press, lately. The way the announcement was worded, it has to be something that has been kept on the down-low, or at least that was my thought. My first thought was a new preview of the new XBOX (XBOX 720?). I hope I'm still right.

Let me know when I can drag one window from say Mac, Windows or Linux to the so call Samsung tablet ARM chip and back again Plus walk around with it or use the bathroom, get what I saying along ways yet for that to happen.

 

[captaincharisma]

anybody who discounts Microsoft is a fool, i think even apple may have to change tactics if win8 pad comes out, and it works well with desktop pcs and bits and bobs

apple fanboys should hope windows 8 becomes a threat . then apple might let you put MAC OSX on the ipad
