Unless you get the ARM version, which I believe is called WinRT. I think that could be the biggest problem for Microsoft. People are used to being able to install any old Windows application, but if you get the wrong kind of Windows 8, all those x86 applications won't run.
- dpark 14y agoRight, and that's a legitimate concern. It's by no means going to drive people to Linux, though. WINE isn't going to run Windows apps better than Windows 8, and Linux on ARM isn't going to run x86 apps at all (except maybe in an emulation, which would be miserable).
