Harmonisation across platforms is all very well (Tablet, PC, Phone) but at what cost, in processing overhead, etc. The motto of 'all things to all men' worries me. On the face of it it looks like Windows 7 with two new UI's. The 'tiled' etc interface and the touch interface. Again the processing cost could be quite high, seeing benchmarks will be very important. I'm also worried about the suggested link to one processor alone this could be a real negative. This would also bring its own problems in application software compatibility.Mark Bainesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750944259631554758.post-71486875623452872552011-09-01T23:21:26.783+03:002011-09-01T23:21:26.783+03:00I think Microsoft are certainly making a giant lea...I think Microsoft are certainly making a giant leap forward for touch, and I think I would prefer it to all of the previous windows versions, but I know that I will still use iOS on an iPod or iPad or iPhone and Mac os on my iMac as my main OS's.

Although it may not look anywhere the same, they both have the same sort of style of presenting information.

They will do everything in their mighty power to get social. Whats good though that it opens the market for competition it is very bad to have a single rules in any country or domain and social is no exception.<br />I think what is really interesting is the "new world order" formed in front of our eyes: Apple+Twitter Vs. Facebook+Micro$oft Vs. Google.<br />Maybe you will take a shot in exploring this in your next blog?<br /><br />All the best and keep up this great blog,<br /><br />ChaimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750944259631554758.post-84830986560917524382011-07-12T18:14:31.834+03:002011-07-12T18:14:31.834+03:00Nicely written, but as they say, the proof of the ...Nicely written, but as they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
