Microsoft presents Windows 8 as a Tablet OS competitor

Microsoft has yesterday presented their beta version of Windows 8 operative system. This time Windows will nto be only an PC operative system, instead it will also be available for tablet devices. Will Microsoft create a good enough OS which can rival Apple’s iOS?

It draws a lot from Windows 7 Phone which has already proved itself in the real world but it ads computing power of a real desktop version of Windows.
