Microsoft opens doors for tablets 7 and 8 inches

The official requirements for tablets that run with Windows 8 have been modified. Because of this, Microsoft opens doors to manufacturers so they can launch tablets of 7 and 8 inches to run your operating system known. Previously, it was required that the minimum screen resolution was 1366 × 768 pixels, but now it is down a little until the 1024 × 768 pixels. While it is a small difference, it may be a big change for many.

Rumors indicate that HTC is one of the first companies to show interest in a Windows tablet 7 inch, plus the device can make calls.

Note that in the minimum resolution can not be used to run two applications Snap simultaneously on the screen, although it is assumed that this small inconvenience should be corrected with the arrival of Windows Blue, which talked about for days.

Microsoft says that changing the minimum requirements will allow manufacturers to test new designs. So far, all Windows 8 tablets that have been launched have a screen 10 inches or larger. Because small tablets like the Nexus 7 and the iPad Mini are very popular, maybe releasing a Windows tablet 7 or 8 inches is not a bad idea.
