Intel complains about Microsoft’s failure to make a real tablet OS. They say MS has tried to shoehorn “Windows Everywhere” onto a device that has an incompatible user interface, power management, and connectivity requirements while the competition has created device-focused software platforms.
Microsoft rebuts: It’s Intel’s fault. Windows CE works perfectly well on ARM-based devices, as do Windows Mobile and now Windows Phone 7. Intel keeps telling us they’re “on track”, that they’ll eventually shrink x86 processors to the point where the power dissipation will be compatible with smartphones and tablets. But…when?
Intel: We constantly improve our geometry. Year after year we shrink the size of the basic semiconductor building block. Our newest fabs run 22nm processes!
MS: Yes, but why does ARM continue to win the battery game? Not to mention ARM’s flexible licensing which has created a thriving ecosystem of third-party processor extensions. Graphics, radios, networking functions…they all end up on the same low-power hardware, an entire system-on-a-chip (SOC) customized for each application, from navigation systems to tablets.
Intel: We’ve had this talk before. You’re a software company, why can’t you create a “mobilized” OS? At least we tried with Moblin.
MS: …and then you mated it with Nokia’s Maemo and spawned Meego. Ask any credentialed engineer what they think of corpocrats who condone such unnatural acts.
Let’s mediate.
