Guest BSchwarz Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 In addition to the Steven Sinofsky live appearance yesterday, and the Microsoft preview document and video (analyzed here), Microsoft also separately previewed Windows 8 at the Computex conference in Taipei. Here is some info from the release: At 2011 Computex today, Microsoft showed hardware partners the next version of Windows, internally code-named “Windows 8,” to help the partners build devices that take advantage of the new user experience. As part of this technical preview, Mike Angiulo, corporate vice president of Windows Planning, Hardware and PC Ecosystem at Microsoft, demonstrated how “Windows 8” is optimized for newer touch-centric hardware, including tablets, while still delivering the flexibility, connectivity and power that people have come to expect from Windows today. The technical demonstration also highlighted the new operating system’s ability to work across both x86 and ARM-based architectures, with a variety of early prototypes shown running the new operating system. Microsoft and silicon chip makers AMD, Intel Corporation, NVIDIA Corp., Qualcomm Inc. and Texas Instruments Inc. initially announced plans in January to work together on the next version of Windows.
