Windows 8 To Enjoy A Huge Advantage – Intel CEO

| Posted on |

CNET’s Larry Dignan comments that to say Intel CEO Paul Otellini is upbeat about the prospects for Microsoft’s Windows 8 may be a bit of an understatement. In fact, Otellini said Windows 8 is one of the best things that s ever happened to our company.

Speaking at a Credit Suisse technology conference, Otellini said:

“We are very excited about Windows 8. I think it s one of the best things that s ever happened to our company. And it’s a very good operating system, not just for PCs, but we think also will allow tablets to really get a legitimacy into mainstream computing, particularly in enterprises that they don’t have today.”

Otellini cites Microsoft new Metro touch interface, noting that there will be a button that basically takes you back to the classic Windows experience – ergo: one operating system with two different GUIs not running on virtual machines, creating a huge and unique advantage for Windows 8 because it will be able to take advantage of legacy software as well as all the drivers for mice and printers and every other USB device in the world, including getting photos off your camera and onto a tablet.
