SAN JOSE, Calif. – I know the bits on Windows 7 haven't even cooled yet, and here I am speculating on the next big thing already. But the fact is there hasn't been a version of Windows with anything truly hot in it for years and ARM support could be the juice Redmond badly needs.
Windows 8 and ARM is a marriage made in heaven. It would open doors for Microsoft to new kinds of low cost, low power products ranging from consumer tablets for Office weenies to Internet café systems in African villages. At this stage, a new market for a franchise like Windows is manna from above.
