TI Joins the Windows RT Demo Fray

Stefan Mileschin · 11th June 2012, 07:27

Not one for being left out, TI had a demo of Windows RT running on its OMAP 4470 reference tablet. Microsoft instructed its partners not to show off anything but the start screen when allowing photography for Windows RT devices so the picture above is all we're able to provide you (despite showing much more in earlier coverage).

How well did OMAP 4 run Windows RT? At least as well as the rest of the ARM SoC makers, in other words: quite good. Scrolling was smooth, switching between apps was fast and everything just worked.

Microsoft still needs to tweak the Metro UI as some animations are still jittery at times but there's still a lot of time between now and the expected August - October release of Windows 8.
