Chief Executive Officer at Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC), Paul Otellini told Intel’s staff that Windows 8 operating system which is going to be unveiled by Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) next month is not completely ready, said a person who participated in the company’s event.
Speaking at Intel’s meeting held in Taipei yesterday, Otellini stated that there is still room for improvement in the software, said a person who requested not to be identified because the meeting was confidential.
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is keen to launch its Windows 8 operating system as soon as possible in order to compete with Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad. Windows 8 will be Microsoft’s first version of flagship software which will be compatible with tablets as well. Otellini said that launching Windows 8 before it is fully ready is the right step as Microsoft can cover the shortfalls in the software following its shipping.
