Intel shows off a Windows 8 Ultrabook
CHIPMAKER Intel gave this year's Intel Developer Forum attendees a look at an Ultrabook running the Windows 8 operating system.
During a keynote that almost forgot about Sandy Bridge, Intel's vp Mooly Eden invited Brett Carpenter from Microsoft's Windows Ecosystem Group to show off an Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook running on Windows 8 as well as a 32nm Atom based tablet.
Carpenter gave a brief demonstration of the Windows 8 'Metro style' user interface with its live tiles and navigation using the keyboard and mouse even though the operating system was designed for touch input.
Eden's keynote presentation focused more on the Ultrabooks that will run on the firm's third generation Ivy Bridge processor, which are due in the first half of next year as well as looking ahead to 2013 when Haswell based Ultrabooks will "complete the Ultrabook revolution".
Eden rounded off by saying, "What we are trying to do together is Windows 8, Microsoft's newst operating system, and Intel's new platform solution together provide a no compromise based user experience." µ

WHY, THIS IS JUST A REHASH OF "WINDOWS BOB".
BILL GATES WILL NEVER, EVER, EVER LEARN "DOG" GONE IT!
I dumped a windows 7 mobile phone because the interface was crap and I'm obviously not alone because MS have managed to garner a whole nearly 1% of the mobile market with their innovative new design.
Now I discover that they want to foist this appalling interface onto my PC monitor along with the ribbon interface, another Microsoft great.
Vista mk2 anyone.
They just don't seem to get it. In chasing Apple they seem to have not realised that OS X is for desktops and IOS is for tablets etc.
I do not need a huge lump of tiles with a 24 font moving clunkily around a 24" monitor with a mouse and keyboard and neither I suspect, does anyone else.
Jeeeez Redmon, wake up and listen to people, just for a change.
