Technobull: It has been a strange launch...

Hardly anyone has reviewed the Samsung Clovertrail platform. It is a really nice tablet too(I bought one). And the Core based Pro platforms are all slated for later. I really like the Windows 8 platform on touch devices but it seems to have no excitement on the desktop/laptop side. I don't think its a bomb or anything but it is not a terribly good launch overall. MS screwed up with Windows RT as well. It would have been so much better for Intel if MS had a hit on their hands:(

No they won't. MS likely decided to wait for the <10W version of Ivy Bridge, rather than using the current 17W. The new chip is also coming in ~Jan.
