Microsoft's Windows on ARM Better for Partners Than Us

LAS VEGAS—Microsoft's partners are undoubtedly pleased with its decision to port future versions of Windows to the ARM architecture. But should consumers be? I'm much less sure.

Rumors of the Windows-ARM partnership slipped out in December, prompting derision from some quarters.

Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows division at Microsoft, explained that the decision was made at a time in the development process where Microsoft could accommodate other designs.

"We are making this announcement now to allow greater collaboration across our expanded partner ecosystem so we can bring to market the widest possible set of PCs and devices, from tablets on up, with the next generation of Windows," he said in a published internal Q&A that Microsoft released. "We're at a point in engineering the next release of Windows where we are demonstrating our progress and bringing together an even broader set of partners required to deliver solutions to customers."

市场定位问题。现在tablet都像大手机,而微软的像电脑,倒是后者好用

我早就说XP之后要点是移动性(省电和高效等),MS就是不听,还强行抛弃XP

现在怎么办?把XP再捡回来?Win7是干不了ARM的,哪怕是简缩版。

因为Windows不是像Linux那样好的版块化,垃圾都集成在核心系统里,不好去掉。

稍稍简缩没意义,简缩太多会丢掉兼容性,还是没意义
