so win 8 came along to tether markets of ARM mobile devices with the desktop via an OS (win8), now smartphones are showing up on the drawing board with Atom based Intel CPU. yeehaw! win 9 to follow anyone?

it took a while to see the image with a 0.0K shunt, commonly known as a short circuit! Laughing

win9 is supposed to hit the wild in 2016, we have until then to arrange ouselves for 64bit only platform, hardware and programming.
The ARMs race brought us win8 as an equalizer among platforms, IMO the idea of a remote kill off apps and data on your mobile devices is a dead wrong aproach, and the trusted boot/safeboot whatever you wanna call it is plain old guard anti competetiveness. but now that there is an effort to bring mobile devices in line with computing platforms, instead of hammering the OS to make it fit, win8 may be close to obsolete before its even fully released, so it will have ARMware bloat when the market for Intel ATOM based mobiles picks up Laughing
