Microsoft finally roadmaps Windows 8

.
Click on me to see me waiting
Microsoft announced that Windows 8 will run on 'ARM' phone chips to be possibly released by next year. This means that all current software will need to be recompiled, if possible,  or  completely rewritten.  If rewriting is needed then this will be done on the latest  software only. Most analysts are predicting Microsoft will base it on Windows CE. Windows CE does not run normal desktop applications but is used as a secure embedded operating system as used in EFTPOS terminals. Networking and a modern browser is already in use for this OS.
