I think the purpose of the article / video clip was to point out that it's NOT going to run on phones - although his statements are rather ambiguous so who knows.

3rd Qt report is out and Microsoft is still loosing ground in the smartphone market.

Android managed to soar from 25.3 percent in Q3 2010 to 52.5 percent today. iOS actually lost a bit of ground (16.6 percent a year ago compared to 15 percent today), but in fairness, so did BlackBerry OS and Bada. Curious about Microsoft? It's claiming just 1.5 percent of the worldwide pie, a fairly precipitous drop from the 2.7 percent it had a year ago. Sure hope that trend doesn't continue...grrr


>Once again, people reading their own things into what Microsoft says. Nothing there that says Win8 will or won't be on the phone.

>>Sooo I guess when I thought Windows 8 was going to run on phones as well as pc's I was wrong.
