It is being told that Windows 8, which is expected to come into action in late 2012, will be running on ARM processors also. That means that Windows 8 will be able to function nicely on the Tablet PCs also. Read this resource about Windows 8 running on ARM processors.
Windows 8
is the name of the upcoming operating system from Microsoft. It is very much possible that it's name will not be just
Windows 8
like the Windows 7. It is expected it will come during the late 2012. But even before it's coming, it is about 2 years before that it has become a buzzword on the net.
There have been many rumours about Windows 8. They say that
Microsoft Focuses on Windows 8 Gaming
. Some people have even started making calculations of their own about the
Windows 8 Price Details
and the
Windows 8 System Requirements
,
Windows 8 will be a 128 bit Operating System
and many more
Windows 8
rumours.
One of the things which people are discussing about is that
Windows 8
is that it will be running on ARM processors. Before proceeding on other aspects, let us first of all know what are
ARM Processors
.
What are ARM processors?
Just like you use Intel processors in your desktop PC, there are other kinds of processors. On your desktop PC Intel or AMD is the manufacturer of the processor. ARM is a type of processor which I bet you have used. If you have used any Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson or even an Apple iPhone, you have used an ARM processor.
ARM Processors
are also used on Tablet PCs such as
Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab
,
Apple iPad
, then you are using an ARM processor. While
ARM Processors
are not well known to the public, they are in wide use in multiple devices.
This was about what is an
ARM Processor
.
Since Microsoft does not make Windows for
ARM Processors
, they think they are losing a significant number of Windows users. That is why Microsoft is being known to be focussing on the next upcoming operating system, the
Windows 8 on Tablet Pcs
. By far, very less Tablet PCs have had a Windows Operating System on it. Neither the Apple iPad, nor the Samsung Galaxy Tab have had a Windows Operating System. There are the two most popular tablet PCs we have ever had.
But now, it seems that Windows will be seen on the touchscreens of Tablet PCs. What will be the criteria of Microsoft to launch it is not known. However, we believe that it won't be just the monopoly of Microsoft that it will launch
Windows 8 for Tablet Pcs
and the other companies will get doomed. There are two stiff contenders in the Tablet PC market – Samsung and Apple, standing straight against Microsoft, snatching users from it. No one knows what will be the market appeal of Android in the next two years, so we cannot expect a boom from Microsoft
Windows 8 for Tablet Pcs
. However, it will definitely help Microsoft recover those users which it has lost by far.
