Over at WinHEC conference, Microsoft announced support of its advanced peripheral management scheme for Windows 7, called Device Stage. As is almost mandatory these days when using Win7 Beta, the OS was running on a netbook, namely the Asus Eee PC S101. What got the tech community's knickers in a twist however, is that the presenter announced that this PC was running a Dual Core 1.6GHz Intel Atom (in addition to a 16GB SSD and 1GB RAM). Every netbook nerd worth his salt knows that the S101 has a Single Core N270 Atom, and that Dual Core Atoms have yet to debut in netbooks.
So what gives M$? I'm calling it presenter incompetence. And given that the presenter was demonstrating how easy it was to upload a photo from his camera to the internet through Win7 to Flickr, as opposed to Microsoft's competing Windows Live Photo Gallery, I'd say that's a pretty fair call. And who pronounces Eee as "e, e" anyway.
