I did not see tis message until after I installed Chrome on my 1st
generation EEE PC running windwos 8 consumer edition just to prove that it

I'm going to te Philippines so I'm setting up an all beta windows system
(windows 8 visual studio 11 and resharper 7) so I can do some mongoDB .NET
driver development on the 16 hour plane ride to hong kong. Thank god cathy
pacific has 120v outlets in coach.

Anyway, what Microsoft is doing with ARM is annoying, but there following
in apples footsteps, and honestly if anyone has a monopoly in the space
win8 on ARM will be in, its apple with their iPad.
