CES: Microsoft Hacks Up Next OS as SOC

[Diablo]

With the Pre-CES Keynote made by [Steve Ballmer], the announcement came that the next iteration of their operating system being available in SOC specific form.* This will lead to windows being able to run a very diverse hardware set in a much more efficient manner than it does right now.* Microsoft displayed 4 different versions of what the next generation prototypes are from 4 different manufacturers but there has been no work done yet on the GUI for SOC as [Ballmer] was very clear to mention that more than a couple of times. *Some photos of the prototypes can be found after the break!
