Microsoft + B&N

Windows 8 in next Nook? Or is MS just adding B&N ebooks to their Windows 8 platform?

If the next nook is win8, I'm glad I got the last good one.

I would be really surprised if B&N completely abandoned Android immediately. They've put way too much infrastructure into it. Of course, if MS gets involved, that may be the long term plan, money may not be a big object.

B&N history to date has been to release an E-Ink something about now, then a tablet something right before Christmas. If they continue that this year, that means the next tablet is nearing production. I doubt they'll make a change as big as the operating system at this point, so i would expect to see at least one other Android tablet.

If they release an x86 windows 8 tablet for less then $300 then I may upgrade to that as there are a lot more applications for x86 windows compared to the 0 for windows 8 ARM version. Means I could use a bunch of my windows apps on my tablet which would help me out tremendously. I will of course leave the gaming to my pc but I will be able to move some lighter work ot the tablet over the pc.

that means NT will be no longer support? or will be upgraded to win8?

Yeah...I'm done, B&N got my last purchase with the Tablet. Maybe this is just the excuse I needed to go iPad...sell my Nook Tablet. Though I may purchase the Kindle Fire now, strip the DRM off all my purchases and move them over. At least this way I can leverage my Amazon Prime subscription...

I hate MS that much! Why can't they just fade away!? Bastards....

I'm looking forward to what this partnership has to offer. I plan to purchase a Win8 tablet in a year or so. I think they'll have a winner on their hands.

Whats with all the Microsoft hate in here?

Look at macrumors, similar thinking processes.

Were not all Mac lovers, but the fact that Microsoft is intruding into android territory is a dick-move.
