Windows on ARM - Windows RT

Windows on ARMLAS VEGAS - Investment bank Piper Jaffray says Windows 8 running on ARM chips won't be anything to write home about. And neither will Intel's latest chip for smartphones. Windows 8 is a milestone for Microsoft and the PC industry because it's the first mainstream Microsoft operating system to run on both ARM chips - typically found in smartphones and tablet - and Intel's X86 chip design.


"It is time once again for CES...we expect another dollop of hype and hyperbole coming out of CES this year," wrote analyst Gus Richard in a research note Monday morning.

Windows 8--not pretty on ARM, initially: Richard continued. "Windows 8...is due out in 2H:12," he said. "We believe this is a major re-write of the Windows operating system and, as such, we would expect it to be late and buggy...we would not expect Windows 8 to run well on an ARM-based PC."
