Windows 8 Set for Tablet PC in 2012

June 2, 2011 - PRLog -- The tablet pc world is now dominated by Apple ios and Google Android. Would Microsoft stay clear of this hot battlefield? Of course not! The next generation Windows operating system puts a much bigger emphasis on tablets.

During Microsoft’s public review at the D9 confab earlier today, we can see that Windows 8 is a tablet-friendly OS. According to Windows Live boss Steven Sinofsky, the software would not be released this fall, and that a safer estimation would be that the company releases a new version of the software every 2 to 3 years.

Actually, there’re Windows 7 tablet pcs (http://www.pickegg.com/wholesale/apad-tablet-pc-10-1-inch-intel-atom-processor-n455-1-66ghz-2gb-32gb-win7-system-mid-1-3mp-touchpad.html)on the market for Windows’ loyal customers. But most people still prefer android tablets or ipad since those 2 OS are designed for tablets. And there’re more choice there especially for android tablets. And windows 7 tablets are more expensive than android ones.

From today’s demo, we can see that Windows 8 pays more attention to tablets. It is said to have no difference in a tablet or a pc, not as you know it. Applications can be skinned to be touch and tablet-friendly, yet can also revert to standard Windows applications you'd use with a mouse and keyboard. In other words, you can have your tablet, and a computer too.

One other area where Microsoft's thinking differently is that its tablet can double as a normal computer, letting users plug their existing peripherals in just like they would with a laptop. While Apple sells a keyboard accessory and is able to work with Bluetooth keyboards, the fact remains that iOS at its very core is all about touch. Adding a keyboard for apps like e-mail, word processors, and Web browsing makes sense--yet for most everything else, a mouse does not.
