One thing I am excited about is windows 8 supporting SOC (System on a chip).. I saw a video earlier of a windows 8 PC running on a motherboard the size of phone.. Neat! I also saw powerpoint and windows 8 running on a ARM processor thanks to SOS support. And in the DEMO the person had baught a regular HP printer from walmart and recompiled the printer driver for the ARM chip and printed right from his pocket sized powerpoint! "Excuse me while I shoot some geek juce out my weenier in the direction of Microsoft.." That means in the next few years you will be able to install windows on your microwave, your DVD player, your MP3 player! In theory...
It's a little scary, this sets the stage for windows to be the next java, and run everything.. Now there's a scary thought..
