Perhaps Dell is going to revive the x86 platform that Intel and Microsoft are abandoning for Windows 8.

Windows 8 will render all user computers as User Interface Machines removing all meaning full work to the back-end.

Big brother will then define privacy

They’ve already said Windows 8 will have a “classic” mode that’s the same old UI they’ve been dragging around since 95. At least on real computers. The tablet interface will be available for the six people in the world that have touch screen attached to their computer.

from what I’ve seen of Windows 8.. I don’t like it.. no start menu, no lists.. just tablet/icon menus like an iPAD.

I would be absolutely horrid in a work environment. Touch screens ..etc...

Data work at corporations require a keyboard and leaning forward to touch the screen would really slow down the production.
