Windows 8 product names are now available
Posted: (EET/GMT+2)
Windows 8 is currently in the works, and the latest product-based news about the next Windows version is the announcement of the product editions. The editions follow the Windows 7 style, but are simpler. Of course, there's a new edition build specifically for tablets. And now that after a long while, there are again multiple processor architectures being supported, one has to take this into account as well.
The available editions will be the following:
- For Intel based architectures (x86/x64)
- Windows 8
- Windows 8 Pro
- Windows 8 Enterprise
- For ARM based architectures
- Windows RT (also known as Windows on ARM or WOA).
During the summer, I expect to hear news about tablets running these new OS versions. I guess names like Samsung, LG, Dell, HP and Nokia might be in the line to announce their hardware.
