Foam android Win8

I wasn't very clear last time. i'm not saying Samsung is getting into the OS wars. Samsung sells devices (and chips). Currently they are the Juggernaut of Android devices. Android will compete with Win8. To the extent that the question was something like 'why would Samsung hook up with Wave when Win8m will apparently cover much of the client TC enablement' the answer is, for the moment, Android. Samsung cannot depend on MS to do anything other than make Win8 work. Samsung cannot expect MS to enable its fleet of Android devices or chips headed to non-Win8 devices. Its not about taking on Win8 per se as I indicated, it simply that there is a non-Win8 world, and Samsung hired Wave to help in that world. Samsung may well build Win8 devices. In that case SamsungAndroid will compete with SamsungWin8 (or at least that they way Samsung would like it). Samsung is not beholden to Wintel, or WinARM, or Win8 and Win8 has no bearing on the sensibility of Samsung's seeking Wave out.
