hi there,

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer calls the next version-Windows 8, the riskest bet of Microsoft.

The desktop-based Windows franchise could face major hurdles in coming years—courtesy of the cloud, which emphasizes applications based online, instead of a user’s local hard drive, as well as more mobile form-factors.

In an Oct. 28 posting on his personal blog, days after the company announced his resignation, outgoing Microsoft chief software architect Ray Ozzie described a coming “inflection point” that will bring a future dominated by devices connected to the cloud. These devices, he wrote, will take forms beyond traditional desktops and laptops.

In the past decades people all are accustomed to the traditional desktop and laptops, it is hard to chage this habit. Only this change could be block Microsoft's progress.

of course, your different opinions about this will be much apprecited.
