Microsoft isn’t thinking things through, they have a core advantage at the Desktop, which is still by far the biggest market, they are willing to sacrifice that to pursue this pipedream of catching Apple in the Tablet market...not gonna work.

I have read [no experience myself] that Win 8 sucks big time.
To: SmokingJoe
"[X] Will Be i[Fill in the blank] Killer..." Heard that before:
- Zune was supposed to kill iPod.
- Blackberry Storm was supposed to kill iPhone.
- Galaxy Tab was supposed to kill iPad.
- Google TV was supposed to be the Apple TV killer. (verdict's still out, wait until next week)
- Ultrabooks were supposed to be the Macbook Air killer.
- All-In-One PCs were supposed to be the iMac killer.
I think I've made my point. Apple is still #1 in all of those categories. And yet you have idiot execs downplaying any rumors about Apple.
I guess those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat the mistakes of Michael Dell, Steve Ballmer, Jon Rubenstein, and Jim Ballsillie.

The “WinTel POS” is probably a better description.

“

Windows 8 on Intel is both a tablet and a desktop. They are sacrificing nothing. Watch this video of the Acer Iconia W510 Windows 8 tablet/Desktop :

I don’t think there is anymore murdered hardware than the iPhone and iPad in the history of tech. Killers here, killers there, killers all over. This new killer vaporware is so scary my 2 iPads saw me reading it and immediately jumped off the desk and hung themselves by the charging cord.

That’s odd, because everything I have read says that Windows 8 absolutely kills the I-Pad. Superior OS in virtually every way—not so great for PC’s (needs touch screen to be fully appreciated), but the perfect tablet OS.

iPad killer? Very unlikely. Unless it does something extraordinary than an iPad won't do, the Apple app store and the iTunes interface pretty much guarantee iPad will keep its dominance for the foreseeable future.

I have heard that the only way to get apps for an ipad is from the apple store. Is there a way for a company to develop their on apps and install them on only their equipment without putting them in the store.

Windows 8, Intel Atom SoC Will Be iPad Killer Bull. The only thing that will kill the iPad is Apple making stupid decisions sans Steve Jobs.
There are too many Apple Lemmings for the iPad or any other Apple product to fail unless it is totally uselss. (And even then I'm not so sure...)

I have read [no experience myself] that Win 8 sucks big time.
Been using it since the "beta" was released, and been using the "consumer preview" and now the release candidate, and from my experience, I can testify that, it's better and faster than Windows 7. You may have to work a little bit to get used to the new interface, but, once you do, you won't be going back to Windows 7 or any other Windows. It it can work as nicely across all form-factors, including tablets, then Windows 8 will in fact become the most used Windows release within a year, and it should also eclipse iOS within 2 years for tablets (my prediction).

“but the perfect tablet OS.”
Uh. No. It’s Android ICS with the ability to run Windows apps. Only ICS is far more refined.
But when push comes to shove, I put my Transformer 2 down and go back to my iPad. In the pad form factor, iOS is still superior to everything.

It's not the intel processor or the tablet design from Acer or other capable hardware builders, the real problem lies here:
Windows 8
