Windows 7 slates would be coming before the end of this year, Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer urged during Worldwide Partners Conference. In his keynote address, he stated that Microsoft and its partners including Sony, Dell, Asus and Samsung would be shipping Windows 7 based tablets / slates by the end of this year. Surprisingly, HP wasn’t listed, may be because they dumped the HP Slate not so long ago?
Windows 7 Slate computers are of course a great idea that many of users would look forward to. Add the customizations and range features offered by different manufacturers, it should give users plenty to choose from. Microsoft Windows tablets would be, with/without keyboard, touch-only, with digital ink display, dockable and other different customizations and of course different price range.
Microsoft officials are expected to be showing off Windows 7 slate prototypes later today during the Worldwide Partners Conference keynote.
