NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang believes that Microsoft should allow the ARM-based version of Windows 8 to be run on tablets at first in order to establish that this version is not for PCs

Nvidia CEO: ARM version of Windows 8 should be on tablets first
Huang said, "It's important for [Microsoft] not to position these as PCs. From a finesse perspective -- I can't speak on their behalf -- but I would come out with tablets first with Windows on ARM. It helps to establish that this isn't a PC." He added that he hopes that Microsoft would release a version of its Microsoft Office business software suite for the ARM version of Windows, saying it "would be the killer app" for that version of the OS.
Huang also talked about NVIDIA's smartphone and tablet processor strategy. NVIDIA's Tegra 2 dual core processor is in a number of smartphones and tablets right now and that the next version of the chip, the quad core processor code name Kal-El, should be a part of a new Asus tablet beginning in early November. Huang said that sometime in the future proccesor makers could create separate chips for smartphones and some for tablet devices.
