Microsoft have said since last year that they would design Windows 8 to work on tablets,netbooks and PCs,but what they forgot to mention is that the latest and greatest Windows OS would support NFC,which ties in with rumors we have reported on for the last week. Today at the BUILD conference the company showed off the new Windows 8 OS along with a few NFC tablets,notebooks and desktop computers all running the aforementioned preview version of the OS that features the new Metro-Style UI.
BGR reported that Microsoft is giving out a “Samsung Windows Developer Preview PC”,which in actual fact is a Samsung NFC tablet,to 5,000 developers at the BUILD conference. It’s equipped with 4GB of RAM,a 64GB SD card,a microSD card slot,HDMI-out,NFC support,Ethernet and more.
