Comments on: Is Windows® 8 the Right Operating System for Tablets? http://windows8.iyogi.com/tablet/windows-8-for-tablets.html Wed, 03 Oct 2012 12:07:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: James Smith João Pessoa, Brazil http://windows8.iyogi.com/tablet/windows-8-for-tablets.html#comment-51 James Smith João Pessoa, Brazil Wed, 24 Aug 2011 11:18:39 +0000 http://windows8.iyogi.com/?p=114#comment-51 This sounds very much the same as Apple's obvious migration to a blending of iOS and OSX.
