Windows 8, Microsoft and what's going on with them

by Denny 31. August 2011 18:25

Windows 8, Build, HTML .... a *LOT* of developers are asking questions and trying to find out what the heck MSFT is up to.  It's interesting because they (Microsoft) have the problem of needing to make changes and yet making changes may also backfire and that could really hurt.

I for one have a lot of respect for the folks inside MSFT who have to deal with this...

I wonder if they should even keep the name "Windows" on the new OS ?  or should they have two different offers Windows 8 beeing the desktop and [INSERT NAME HERE] for the ARM Tablets they are looking to offer software for.

Some folks want MSFT to make the whole package, hardware and software. if MSFT did not have all of the OEM's to keep happy they might benefit from that but given the OEM's i can see a huge number of problems that could land MSFT in court over that idea.

I HOPE that they are making some good calls to make the new OS the great product i think i can be but untill BUILD who knows ?

Waiting to find out what they say....
