Will Windows 8 For ARM Tablets Cut the Cord on Desktop Mode?

Is it us, or is the dream of a full Windows experience on low-power ARM tablets getting steadily eroded? We’ve long known that these slates would sacrifice backwards compatibility with legacy software, but now it seems the familiar desktop mode could be getting the chop too.

Paul Thurrott from SuperSite for Windows says he has good insider information that this mode will be limited to x86 devices, which would rule out using the traditional keyboard-and-mouse UI on an ARM tablet and force users to stick with the Metro UI at all times. By the sound of it, though, the matter is still being argued over within Microsoft and it’s unclear whether the decision will apply to ARM-based notebooks too.

All Thurrott could be sure of is that “the people who don’t want there to be a desktop mode [in ARM tablets] have apparently won the day.” Man, and just when we thought everyone was starting to get along so nicely.

3 Simple Steps To Speed Up Your Website
In a time full of tweets, youtube videos, Facebook updates, and more, it can be pretty hard to keep visitors interested long enough to deliver value.

Although there are many other techniques, here is a simple 3 step plan to speed up your website:
  1. Monitor your analytics using tools like Google analytics, or Yahoo's Y Slow plugin, and figure out your current speed.
  2. If you have a lot of images, be sure to keep them at a smaller size.
  3. Use caching to make it easier for your web server to serve your site up to visitors, especially those new to your site. If you're on Wordpress, check out WP Super Cache.
