Windows 8 Will Be Tablet Friendly

Microsoft gave the world a sneak peek today at its next version of Windows. Windows 8 as it is currently dubbed (and that will stick), will run on both Tablets and regular Windows machines--PC`s, laptops, and netbooks--, and will likely be marketed accordingly. The Tablet version will run on ARM or other low powered processors that are currently powering most mobile phones and current Tablets.

The new OS looks promising as it will be able to run full HD 1080P video, multitask, and a plethora of Windows apps. The apps however, will have to be re-encoded to run on the smaller less powerful processors, as the current windows apps are programed to run on x86 processors (Intel and AMD).

More to come soon.
