Opinions on Windows 8 as a desktop operating system are defiantly a mixed bag.
While most people would describe the fusion of Metro and the Desktop as awkward at best, even the biggest of critics have to admit the potential for Metro on tablets is huge.
We’ve had three release previews at this point to give us an idea of what the operating system will look like, but hardware could make or break Microsoft’s tablet aspirations.
PC OEM’s have tripped over themselves trying to duplicate the industrial designs consumers crave, and if Windows 8 ships on 4 inch thick square tablets, they might as well not even bother.
Our first glimpse of new Windows 8 tablet hardware will be on display next week at Computex Taipei, with
Acer, Toshiba, & Asus showing off new designs.
