Intel Exec: Microsoft's Windows 8 on ARM Will Lack Legacy Apps !
Microsoft's Windows 8 on ARM-based devices will lack support for legacy apps, according to an Intel executive. But that's coming from ARM's chief rival.
Windows8 for Intel chips will run programs designed for previous versions of the operating system, while the ARM-based versions will not. Intel will apparently offer its own Windows-supporting architecture for mobile devices such as tablets. Rumors suggest that Microsoft will release Windows 8—as it’s been termed, at least for brevity’s sake, by the media and analysts—sometime in 2012.
