XP Microsoft Windows Vista Touch Tablet Arm etc. windows 7 August 8
Although much has been leaked about Windows 8, Microsoft's position is still not officially confirm anything (in fact, have not even been able to officially recognize that "Windows 8" is the codename of the next operating system are in preparation). But in the absence of official statements from Microsoft, good are those of their partners.
We say this because Intel just released very relevant information on Windows 8. According to what they say, the next version of Windows will have two different versions, one for ARM and another for PCs based on Intel chips. So far there is not much new, the interesting thing is they also say that the Windows version 8 for ARM does not have "backward compatibility", ie can not run software written for earlier versions of Windows.
The amazing thing is that this will also affect the Windows edition of 8 for Intel. Only the PCs will have a feature called Windows 7 Mode, with which you can run older apps. Whether this role will be in a virtualization system (like Windows XP that comes in Winy Mode), or be only a "compatibility mode" that will allow older applications to run natively.
Is it too risky is this move? At first glance one might say yes, but it is debatable. It turns out that the ARM version of Windows 8 will focus mainly tablets such as "slate" (tablets without a keyboard as the iPad, the Galaxy Tab, etc). In these tablets, the vast majority of applications that now exist for Windows not working well, as they are intended for use with mouse and keyboard, or at most with a stylus, but are not friendly to use with your thumbs on a touch screen.
Therefore, it is possible that the removal of backward compatibility does more good than bad in Windows 8 for ARM. First, because the ecosystem is "lost" does not provide value to users of tablets, and because so developers are under pressure to create new applications, which themselves are optimized for touch screens, and also make use of new technologies Windows 8.
However, the situation is different with Intel processor based computers (laptops and desktop PCs). Here the old application ecosystem where it adds value to users, so Microsoft can not afford to throw it paplera recycling. The outcome will depend on how well that works on Windows compatibility mode 8.
