Indeed. I mean, I KNOW what thay aim for. There are already some x86 tablets, plus Win8 is supposed to be ARM compatible, so it can work on most generic tablets. So they aimed this at touch-control… More of a gimmic than functional for normal PC.
Yeah.
I totally understood that.
Totally.
Reblog since reply is too limited.
x86 - 32bit Intel architecture (normal 32 bit PCs)
ARM - processor architecture used in pretty much all phones (Android, Windows Phone 7, old Windows Mobile, pre-smartphone phones) and some gaming consoles (DS, Vita)
I saw recently a tablet, that had Win7 on it. Meaning it had to have your normal PC processor. But still, mostly for tablets ARM ones are used. Microsoft said that Win8 WILL be ARM compatible, meaning they pretty much want to make an OS that can run on both normal PCs AND tablets/smartphones.
Hence why the menu in it looks like it does, since they aimed it to be touch-controlled. A fine thing for a tablet. But on a PC it can ONLY be annoying. A gimmic, like gadgets in Vista and 7, funny for a short while, then you turn them off when you notice how annoying they can get.
