I was reading CNN yesterday and today and I ponder what would the world be like without PC... I doubt it will happen but the better question dawned on me.. Well, the article hits the same point... What will Microsoft do with the changing dynamics of tablet and Apple?
Can Windows 8 save the PC from extinction?

Microsoft is approaching their new OS to fit well with tablet and enhance the user experience. As the article states "With Windows 8, Microsoft is in a sense betting the house on form factor. The company believes that when people buy an iPad, what they really want is a PC on the go that's just not available to them yet.".
In some sense, I have to concur that tablet is in because it is the closest thing to a PC on the go. The only argument to Microsoft's bet is that netbook would be the closest thing but sales are plummeting.
The reason to netbook is the operating system is like "bloatware" on the computer. The operating system is wrong for netbook and why Windows 8 seems to work from tablet and then up....
For me, it is learning another OS for support and implementation. At the end, tablet is here for good.
