Window 7 is not exactly a darling OS of the tablet world. Although, there are a couple of tablets floating around with Win7, but Microsoft is planning to make a splash in the tablet arena with its Windows 8 OS. Win 7 has often been dismissed as a mouse and click operating system, but Microsoft may make amends with Win 8 which is expected to be touch-command friendly. The company is said to have unleashed an army of around 1,000 engineers to work on ARM-based Win 8 tablets.

If some rumors are to be believed and if Microsoft is on the right track, then you can expect to lay your hands on a Win 8 tablet by the end of this year. Microsoft is also said to be shifting away from Intel and AMD processors and moving towards energy efficient ARM processors. A Morgan Stanley analyst has claimed that Microsoft is "closer to competitive than some realize." New OS is also expected to give better multimedia performance and more efficient battery life.
