Is the Microsoft-Intel marriage finally over? - tablets, tablet PCs, processors, pc com... - 0 views

  • At the Sandy Bridge press conference, the words "Microsoft" and "Windows" were scarcely heard
  • can't remember the last time anyone from Intel had to be prompted to endorse its partner in Wintel crimes.

  • This may also be one of the strongest signals that link sharing through Facebook, Twitter and other social sites is the way forward. Imagine searching an index of your friends' favorite ('liked') websites, rather than a spam-ridden search engine index. Today, our social graphs might be too small to cover the entire Web, but in a few years...
