Thanks for the explanation.
Great job Scott - incredibly informed analysis.
I read that ARM processor tablets that run Windows8 will not be able to run desktop apps, just Metro apps....?
Great explanation Scott. I also like your vision on where you think things are heading. Sounds very reasonable.
@John - It seems 100% realistic to me, that **SOME** devices may be low power, ARM based and only run Metro apps.
That said, I have seen an ARM Device, the pack of a deck of cards, running a full version of Office 2010 :)
#Good times ahead...
