Windows 8 970 Published by

Ars Technica posted a story that the first Windows 8 tablet will reportedly be unveiled next week by Samsung and Microsoft.



The news originates from the Korea Economic Daily, which the AFP news service quotes as saying the Windows 8 tablet from Samsung will be shown at Microsofts BUILD conference for developers in Anaheim Sept. 13-16.

While Windows 8 isn't expected until next year, Microsoft has confirmed that it will reveal more details about Windows 8 at BUILD, and we've known for some time it will have a user interface optimized for tablets. Windows 8 will also be the first version of the worlds most widely used operating system to run on ARM chips, which power the iPad.
