Windows Blue will be optimized for 7-inch tablets

In recent days rumors have begun to reach the media about the characteristics that the new Windows Blue, the operating system that will succeed Windows 8, and which is expected to make an appearance this year. A detail of this new operating system, however, is of special interest to the tablet sector: Windows Blue will be optimized for screens of 7 inches. We will see compact tablets with the operating system of Microsoft this year?

The testers of the new Windows Blue are starting to circulate a lot of information about the next version of the operating system from Microsoft. For now, we already knew that, unfortunately for those who yearned for the desktop style of the ancients Windows, the next version will keep a look similar to that of Windows 8, despite the multiple reviews you have received. However, there is even more interesting news for the world of tablets: as reported in youmobile, Windows Blue will be optimized for screens of 7 inches.

This is not the first time you have heard of compact tablets with Windows. Between 3 new tablets that it is rumored that Microsoft projects for  2013 2 of less than 10 inches are included and, just a couple of months ago, we already told you that rumors were beginning to circulate that Microsoft prepared his own tablet of 7 inches, which would appear under the name of Xbox Surface. Although some of their Technical specifications (such as, for example, that it will have a resolution of 1280 x 720 and with a processor ARM), since then, there has not been much news about it. It seems, however, that the fact that the next version of Windows it will be optimized for tablets of this size. precisely, and which will be launched this year, contributes to give solidity to the leaks.

It is not surprising, actually, that Microsoft decides to launch his foray into the 7-inch field, given the popularity of the compact tablets. The fact of presenting, in addition, a smaller tablet, and presumably cheaper, oriented to the game and the consumption of content (such as the fact of baptizing it Xbox Surface indica) and less to the business field, it will probably help you a lot to expand your audience, something that looks like the Redmonds would urgently need and that your partners will probably appreciate, as other manufacturers who have released tablets with Windows 8 y RT Windows they will surely follow him in this expansion.
