Silicon Republic posted a story that Intel CEO Paul Otellini has reportedly told employees in Taiwan that Windows 8 will still require improvements up to its release on 26 October
According to an unnamed source speaking to Bloomberg, Otellini made this announcement at a meeting in Taipei yesterday. Though it’s not unusual for software to be released before it has been perfected, the pressure is on Microsoft to ensure any kinks in the system are worked out smoothly and quickly, particularly considering the expected adoption of the platform.
“If 400 million PCs get sold in a year, at least two-thirds get sold in the Windows market. That’s 250-odd million, plus whatever we get in the consumer upgrades,” stated Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, speaking at a private event in San Francisco yesterday. At this event, Ballmer and Microsoft CFO Tami Reller tried to entice more developers to get involved with the Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 platforms.
