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:
Better than Apple and security.
Agreed!
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.
