As you have almost certainly already heard, one of the big things coming in Windows 8 will be it’s support of ARM processors. The main feature of the new operating system, though, is the radical new Metro interface. The Metro Start screen displays a series of “live tiles”. These are the apps, some of which come with Windows 8, and some which will be installed by the user from the new Windows Store, which are constantly updating with new information. You could display such things as current weather, Twitter, news, and a lot more on your personalized start screen.
nVidia was at the Consumer Electronics Show last month to show off their Tegra 3 quad-core processor running Windows 8 tablets. The new chipset allows these tablets to be extremely thin, have longer battery life, and high-resolution graphics. In the video below you can get a look at a little bit of what they are capable of, such as HD video playback, and full Windows multi-tasking.
The exact specifications and pricing aren’t yet available, but you can learn more by visiting the nVidia site.

ASUS was so excited they couldn’t wait for CES next week. Vice President Samson Hu laid out the company’s 2012 plans at a press event in Taipei and what he had to say was certainly attention-grabbing. There were some things that had already been rumored – like an ASUS ARM tablet running Windows 8, which he confirmed will be coming by the end of this year. But he also let everyone know about two new tablets that are coming a lot sooner than that. In fact they will be shown at CES in just a few days.
At CES we will see a 7 inch tablet called the ASUS Eee Memo Pad and a new, as yet unnamed, 10 inch tablet with a high-resolution screen. With the 10 inch tablet it’s unclear if this will be a completely new device or a revamped version of the ASUS Prime. ASUS has beefed up their development department in hopes of reaching their goal of 6 million tablets sold in 2012. With a combination of Android and Windows 8 tablets coming this year they just may reach that goal.
This show is pretty close to the seven year anniversary of the show. It has been a great run, and I want to thank all of you for being loyal fans.. You will get a chuckle at the beginning of the show as I for some reason have no idea what day it is.. Lot’s of tech and thanks for all of the emailed comments.

What could happen did happen. Someone needs to fix Chrome so Flash quits crashing as it caused some excitement for me at the beginning of the show not to mention pushing a higher bandwidth stream seemed to create some issues for viewers on slower connections. Faster is not always better, good lessons learned. Plus a Weird Product recommendation at the end of the show plus a Family Update.

Recently Microsoft rep Steven Sinofsky has been blogging about the next version of their OS, Windows 8. He has announced and documented extensively the changes and benefits we can expect. He showed off the Explorer ribbon interface and improving file management, to name two things. Yesterday, however, Sinofsky wrote about the future of Windows start-up times. If you are interested in the technical, very geeky, details of hibernation, cold starts, kernels, and the like, then I recommend you head over to his blog post for the details. You will also find lots of graphs and charts that compare Windows 8 to Windows 7.
If you just want your PC to start up quickly when you really need it, without all of the technical jargon,then check out the video post below, which was included in Sinofsky’s post. You will see a laptop with no power cord and no battery go from dead to ready-to-use in about 8 seconds.
Meetup in Albuquerque is on for next week if you want to attend please email me ASAP. We are also collecting prizes for show #700 if you would like to donate a product or service drop me a line. This show gets very serious almost out of the gate we all need to make sure we protect our freedoms.

Back in Honolulu and the weather is fantastic. Lots of controversial topics on today’s show. Hope that you will chime in and provide some feedback. Bit of a comedy on tonights show as the lower third in the video had a mind of its own.
