Microsoft has confirmed that it is developing its major version of Windows, which will run on mobile chips, which offer an alternative for the first time in many years of chips based on Intel technologies.
The new version can use the energy savings provided by mobile phone chips, Microsoft and give a better chance of winning the confidence in the evolving world of computer tablets. Apple Inc. 's hit IPAD tablet works on mobile phone-type chip, which is one reason it may take 10 hours with one charge.
Steve Sinofsky, president of Windows, demonstrated at the International Consumer Electronics Show in prototype computers running Windows Las Vegas chips designed ARM Holdings, the British company whose technology goes into almost all cell phone chips.
Sinofsky did not know when the new version of Windows will be available, but hinted that he may be one or more years.
ARM provides the basic plans for chips, but does not mean that their chips. The chips used in demonstrations on Wednesday were made by Qualcomm AD, Texas Instruments Inc, Nvidia AD
A major shortcoming Moving to another "processor architecture" is that programs designed for the current version of Windows will not work on the new chips. Peripherals such as printers, it will not work without new software colleagues, or "drivers".
"Under the hood, there are many problems to work," said Sinofsky. Proved version of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Internet Explorer and Media Player running under his arm, but do not say how third party developers and will work with key. Apple included key processor architecture over the last ten years, but Microsoft has the task is far greater, since it works with more partners, both hardware and software.
The Wall Street Journal reported the development of an earlier version of Microsoft Windows for ARM.
Microsoft has a software called "Windows" for mobile phones, but it has little to do with the software that runs on your computer, and can not run the same programs.
