According to sources who spoke with Bloomberg, Microsoft Corp. will showcase its new Windows OS for tablets next week. Microsoft Windows President, Steve Sinofsky will conduct the presentation at the AllThingsDigital D:9 conference.
The new software’s touch-screen interface will be the highlight of the event. It runs on hardware powered by an Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) Tegra chip. This undertaking is believed to be a gesture to emphasize that Microsoft company is at pace with the blossoming market for tablets and smartphones.
The tablet version of Windows 8 will be what is exhibited to D:9 attendees. Earlier this week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer stated that the release of devices with the new Windows 8 operating system would begin in 2012.
Based on business commitments, it is believed that Microsoft OEM Chief, Steve Guggenheimer will conduct the same demo in Taiwan next week.
Recently, major computer tech companies have been making implications to extend their business interests in tablet manufacturing. Intel already announced its willingness to make chips even for business rivals. This recent move by Microsoft is an indication that the company will also seek to generate demand among computer manufacturers as well as chip suppliers.
