I ’m not surprised . If they require to make their tablets competitive with the iPad in term of size of it , barrage life and comfort of use , you ca n’t support memory and public presentation hogs like Photoshop or the desktop adaptation of Office . It does n’t make much sense , especially when you take into accounting its user interface limitations in a soupcon environs — simply , those diminutive icon and cell are too unvoiced to hit with your digit . Bringing Metro to laptops and desktops make sentiency . The contrary would never fly .
So yes , I hope the rumour is true . Perhaps they will save that to some smell of professional tablet — with laptop - vogue guts and stylus support — standardized to their current pill computing equipment instead of the radical - thin Windows 8 slates that would contend with iPad . [ ZDnet ]
