Microsoft hopes to redefine the future of computing

Anand Krishnan from Microsoft’s UK developer and platforms group discusses what Windows 8 will mean for the future of computing.

He said: “We think we’re standing on the edge of a revolution, redefinition of what it means when using the word ‘device’.  I think it has to date stood for phones and tablets, and we’re walking into a world now where a device is just a computer.”

Krishnan gives Computer Weekly a quick taster of Windows 8 operating on a tablet, while also giving his opinion on why the upcomingSurface Tab from Microsoft is so expensive.
