CES 2011: Windows Support for Silicon on a Chip Architectures.

Windows on ARM architectures, who would’ve guessed? Actually the rumor mills had been talking about it. Today Microsoft announces support of System on a Chip Architectures From Intel, AMD, and ARM for next version of Windows.

Next version of Windows? Do you mean Windows 8?
Microsoft have not officially called the next version of Windows as Windows 8 yet.

Is it anything new?
Not really. Windows NT kernel was ported to PPC and DEC-Alpha back in the 90’s. Actually it took Microsoft’s way too long to add suports for ARM architecture.

What’s next?
Steve Ballmer’s CES Keynote at 6:30 PM Pacific Time. CNET is covering it Live.
Live Video feed, or is it?
