The words of the CEO of Intel and their meaning before the release of Windows 8
In recent times Intel has been working closely with Microsoft on the development of Windows 8, so hopefully know what they are talking about when they refer to the new operating system. That's why they miss the statements that his CEO Paul Otellinihad allegedly madeto his employees in Taiwan. As reported by Bloomberg, in them he assured that Windows 8 will not be fully finished by October 26, the expected date of its release, and needs to be improved.
Given the uproar Intel has been forced to publish a press release in which does not stop denying categorically those statements. In it, they only refer initially and concisely to the information, qualifying it as unsubstantiated news The rest of the paragraphs are dedicated to repeating praise for what is new from Microsoft, emphasizing their work together and reaffirming that they continue to see Windows 8 as a great opportunity."
In any case, the fact that Windows 8 reaches the market in a non-final stage of development would not be something new in the software industry either. The words of the big boss of Intel may not mean that the new Microsoft comes half-finished, but that certain features remain to be implemented in the system. Not surprisingly, it seems that from Redmond itself are thinking of adding important improvements after its initial publication. Thus, last month ZDNet was already talking about a possible update known by the code name 'Blue'.
Windows 8 marks a major change to the windows operating system, it should come as no surprise that new features are appearing to polish the experience of user. A good part of these additions could be used to improve the layer of Windows 8 and its Start Screen to little by little reduce the presence of the classic desktop model Task that It would have already started with the permanent removal of the hitherto ubiquitous Start menu.
Just in case, Microsoft wanted to quickly remove any hint of doubt about its upcoming release by ensuring that Windows 8 is the 'most tested, patched, and ready' operating system in its history. Which would not be surprising since the change it brings is well worth it.
