I've seen the sentiment on HN generally is that if it's ageneral conversation about the post-PC world, MS is totally a dying platform losing relevance and Windows 8 is the worse software on the planet which will totally crash and burn and t

Is this something new? Microsoft has almost always supported popular platforms other than their own if they think they can make a few bucks off them. There are a whole bunch of examples for this including Office for Mac, IE for Mac, Hyper-V

Unlikely to happen, since all their revenue of more than hundred million dollars a year comes from Google, which stands to lose big if that feature is implemented. Opera and Chrome stand to lose too, so that won't happen there. Bing's reve

Looks like there's major spin on this on that page. Whats a Intel Core(TM) processor? Dig deeper and it's an anemic Celeron, not a Core i3 or i5 or i7 as the name implies. Why is there no mention of storage AT ALL? Because it's a 16GB(!) SS
