Windows 8 on a tablet.
I'm struggling to see what the big announcement was. The whole point of Windows 8 was to create an OS that worked well on tablets and phones.
Just a pity they forgot about PCs and laptops...

I watched the "Analyzing Malware with SysInternals tools" video you have on one of your news letters the other day, the presenter didn't have a lot of fun with Win8. He was all over the place trying to find his open presentations and demos.

Microsoft isn't actually manufacturing these new tablets itself.
|
|
|
|
|
Who does manufacture their own things now a days?

I confess I didn't read the post. I thought it was about the new product from Nathan's[^].

Yes, but what if you bought everyone a faster hand calculator?

Ouch. Quit messing with my s-l-o-w brain.

I don't think the calculator is the bottleneck here...but if you bought everyone faster hands the results might improve 
|
|
|
|
|
And what if you made them use a faster hand calculator in each hand?

See? Now we're talking. Parallelisation.

My only concern is CPU overload could lead to an unpleasant foot odor problem.

The only problem I have with this article is that the author says that XP has been out for two decades, and the later for 20 years.

I noticed that too...apparently he thinks it came it in 1991 instead of 2001. In which case I wonder when he thinks Windows 95 and 98 came out. 
Or he's from the future.

Everyone knows that Win 95 and 98 were introduced during the reign of Queen Victoria, and ME dates to the mid-40s when rationing meant that all the good bytes had been taken, leaving the rubbish ones behind.
