Microsoft reveals details of Windows on ARM-designed controller chips.
WOA - Windows on ARM - is expected to compete with iOS and Android tablets, though Microsoft faces "huge hurdles" in successfully marketing the product, analysts warn.
The chips will run a version of the Windows 8 operating system (OS) in an effort to provide a common OS across devices . "In the home, in the office, and in your pocket," says Chris Green of Davies Murphy Group.
While files such as documents, spreadsheets, video and sound will be cross-platform compatible, applications written for other versions of Windows will pose a potential challenge to consumers in trying to make them work.
Despite the challenges however, "ARM chips are seen as the best solution we have in the world for mobile devices, because they strike that balance between power and performance," says Mr. Green.
