| Soleron said: No, I don't believe MS will make any serious software effort to port their own apps to an interface suitable for tablets. Including all their major products, and Windows tools. They will be functional on it but not feel as right as, say, iOS apps. I think it'll be like touchscreen integration on W7: cute for some shiny tech demos, forgotten about and used by no one six months after launch. I agree that is what they should do if they are serious. |
Even if MS don't, and I think they will, there are still a ton of developers out there ready to make money off of any W8 tablets, and I think there will be enough for W8 to do well. The fact that W8 has an actual tablet interface means it will be used rather than forgotten soon after launch I think.
But time will tell I guess.
