Coming on Tuesday: Live Coverage of Microsoft’s Windows 8 Keynote
By Harry McCracken | Sunday, September 11, 2011 at 11:22 pm
I’m in Anaheim, holed up in my hotel room next door to the Anaheim Convention Center, where Microsoft will be holding its BUILD conference this week. It’ll serve as the launching pad for Windows 8, and will give us our first opportunity to see more than glimpses of the OS. A new version of Windows 8 is still a big deal, so I chose to come here rather than attend any of the other tech conferences that are going on this week in other locales. (Boy, are there a lot of them: DEMO, TechCrunch Disrupt, the Intel Developer Forum, the Information Week 500, and the Tokyo Game Show.)
On Tuesday morning at 9am PT, Microsoft will hold a BUILD keynote that’s likely to involve lots and lots of new details about Windows 8, an operating system we still don’t know all that much about. I’ll liveblog the whole event at technologizer.com/win8. Hope to see you there–and stay tuned for other Windows 8 news this week as it develops.

There are many people whose opinions I normally have time for, taking windows 8 on a tablet seriously, personally I don't see this being successful. They've been trying this schtick for years now, shoehorning their latest windows version onto whatever tablet is current.
Apart from a few geeks, who really wants to run windows apps on a tablet? I understand that it will apparently have tablet specific apps as well, but surely it's USP is being also able to run legacy windows apps as well.

I like this kind mutual communication very much. I can learn much from that. The opinion that everyone gives also can be as useful information.
