Microsoft has announced that the next version of Windows will run on ARM-based devices.
Steven Sinofsky was at pains to call it "the next version of Windows" rather than Windows 8, but the new OS will offer completesupport for System on a Chip (SoC) architectures.
"You don't think about the phone in your pocket being able to run Windows, but that's basically what's happened. We think of PC based devices being X86-based and mobile devices being ARM-based."
"Some people think we'll all get slates, but customers are asking for more things, such as being able to plug in a camera or an SD card."
"This desire makes it a natural fit for Windows. If you want a bigger screen, or more ports, or a convertible, Windows is a great way to think about how we can provide that to consumers."
More to follow.
