Windows 8 reveals its intentions

.

Microsoft has given new guidelines for Windows 8 devices. Phone 8 will be made only on "Dual core" chips meaning they are going for the top end market, iPhone and Androids Galaxy etc. They are going to set up their own manufacturing which has upset the original hardware partners who are bound to swing more to Android devices. Windows 8 Tablets for the consumer will run on "ARM' chips meaning they will not run programs designed for Windows PC's. These tablets will run Windows RT and be called "Surface tablets". Like Phone 8 they will require  "Dual core" chips.
