Microsoft is preparing to show her Windows 8 for ARM base devices. The 1st time that Microsoft is moving away from the x86-only approach. Truly an enormous change in the embedded PC market

The Announcement will probably take place at the end of October. Will this announcement will change the market that until today it appears to be the on Apple OS6 and the Android which is a subset of Linux were the dominators in the market or perhaps the only system software excluding RIM. Are we going to be in a position to use our mobiles and embedded pc devices same as we are operating with our Windows base desktop, workstations and mobile? I sure hope therefore due the simple fact the Smartphone users are struggling with easy jobs as deleting or edit items or files. Did you detect that also?

Microsoft is definitely going to enter a field that for a number of years it looks that was evaded by her. Fields like like the tablet market, phone market, and embedded market. In a brief period time we will be able to find OS will run on ARM processors, provided by firms like TI, Nvidia, and Qualcomm.

It was required and predicted nonetheless , because of two principal reasons. First, ARM processors got more powerful, and 2nd, there aren't any x86 processors that are appropriate to the wants of pills today.

ARM has indeed become powerful enough to run theWindows on it. It's no longer the processor that used to trade in performance for energy usage. With the arrival of dual-core ARM Cortex CPUs â€" cranking speeds above 1GHz and supported by leading vendors like Freescale, Nvidia, Qualcomm, TI, and such like â€" ARM has definitely come a good way from its StrongARM days. It has now provided an equivalent alternative to the x86.

We're not sure yet and we didn't get all the answer from Microsoft on the WIN8 and all his modules, but I am absolutely sure that Microsoft is back to answer to iPad and the Android-based tablet market. Though the Windows CE-based solutions so far were a tiny bit disappointed and didn't able to bargain a meaning full in the market.

I'm pretty sure the Embedded PERSONAL COMPUTER market at some point soon will change significantly and Microsoft is going to play a leading role. Certainly it'll affect Intel and AMD and I'm asking myself is the definition WINTEL will be part of the Embedded Computer history. The only query is how long it will take.
