Look out tablets, you could be getting Windows!
Yesterday we learned that Microsoft is already previewing Internet Explorer 10, even though IE9 is still hot off the press. We love that kind of progress from Microsoft, but hidden within that demo that Microsoft was giving of IE10 at the MIX conference was something even bigger – Windows running on ARM.
That demo that Microsoft gave of Internet Explorer 10 was running on a copy of Windows that was powered by an Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset. That's pretty impressive stuff that points to Windows invading the ARM segment that's right now ruled by lightweight mobile operating systems.
Engadget grabbed the following image as proof of the platform:

And why would that software base even exist if it weren't for Microsoft?
You got it backwards, like trying to put the carriage before the horses.
Consider the expansion of iOS on tablet market after it has been on phones for a few years. Same pattern. Nobody wanted tablets before, and now they're crazy about them.
I am not an Apple fan, but I am not blindingly denying their role in the development of the segment.
Try to look up "monopoly" before using it in a sentence; when there are multiple players on the field, that's not a monopoly. Some just play better than others, that's all.
Less hateful trolling (which I guess is tradition, too), and more objective analysis never hurt anyone.
You should slap yourself for using the terms microsoft and secure in the same sentence. Slap yourself hard.
I don't think anyone, ever, has wanted to buy and put gasoline in their car, unless it was necessary to drive anywhere in it.
Better than Apple and security.
Sorry, I must be missing something... what did you fix?
Now to bring Android+Chrome to full x86/x64
Competition and choice are always good.
FIXED
Yep thats why Microsoft totally dominates the corporate world.. due to weak security /end sarcasm. Please use your brain before issuing a statement, it should not be hard to add one and one!
