    This is the first in a loooong time I've been genuinely impressed with what MS is doing. Windows 8 looks brilliant. It will be a learning curve for some people, especially with how you access files and settings. But its a brilliant change and is the first time I can remember seeing MS actually becoming innovative.

    Default Microsoft's Windows 8 Management Angers Manufacturers

    After Microsoft's unveiling of Windows 8 at the D9 conference yesterday, we were a little perplexed. One OS for both PCs and mobile devices? Don't manufacturers make hundreds of different variations with gajillions of different configurations for tablets and PCs? How's it going to work? Microsoft's answer: we'll rule the hardware manufacturers with an iron fist. Okay, that was a bit of a paraphrase, but not much of one if industry reports are any indication.

    "From day one we've started engineering these systems with a much closer degree of hardware-software integration than ever, and that integration starts with manufacturing and continues all the way through to the final system configuration," ComputerWorld reports Michael Angiulo, the Microsoft vice president in charge of Windows planning, hardware and ecosystem, as saying yesterday.

    Huh?

    Acer's CEO, Jim Wong, sums it up differently. “They’re really controlling the whole thing, the whole process,” he told the crowds at Computex earlier this week, a day before the Wall Street Journal ran an article claiming that Microsoft told chip-makers Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments to select one hardware manufacturer apiece to work with on Windows tablet development, in order to speed up the process.

    "The industry does not belong to Microsoft, and it does not belong to Intel," Wong said. "It belongs to all participants. They cannot make the decision for all of us. That is the problem." Limiting development to certain manufacturers can give those manufacturers a big edge in the ultra-competitive PC market.

    We don't know whether it's good for Microsoft to keep Windows 8 close to the chest. Closed development certainly works for Apple, after all, and to be fair, it is their operating system. We can say one thing for certain: Jim Wong's pissed.

    Microsoft still nuh learn dem blasted lesson............... smfh

    what are they really trying to do?

    two wrong.... one thing right...

    right? - Microsoft is finally getting serious about multitouch, which users love for its simplicity

    wrong? -
    1. First, let’s talk about Microsoft’s shotgun approach to product development in Windows 8. On Wednesday, Windows president Steven Sinofsky said, ”It’s ‘no compromise’ and that’s really important to us.”
    2. it just might ruin the core Windows product that powers most of today’s laptops and desktops.


    please read this article in its entirety

    I definitley agree with what this person said in his last paragraph....
    "Microsoft would be much better off just creating a tablet OS, while continuing to tweak and innovate its desktop/laptop OS for users who demand the power, precision, and versatility they get from it. Sure, there will be a lot of users who only need a tablet, and there will be plenty of users who will want a tablet as their secondary computing device. But, declawing the standard version of Windows in order to better compete with the iPad is not the right answer."

    You guys always over blow these things.. It's gonna be just like when windows 7 came out; greatly improved in some aspects, but the menu's simplified to the point of bewilderment.
