Intel is excited about Windows 8

Intel is being an enterprise worthy of mention, I'm not sure if good or bad side. Their inability or indifference to produce processors for tablets made them miss the tablet revolution that has emerged in almost two years. Intel has a processor called the Intel Atom small, which is present in almost 99% of netbooks that run Windows and we all know how it works, not so good.
Intel has new Intel Atom processors ready for the next generation of netbooks, but why not, for the first generation of tablets with Windows 8.
Intel CEO Paul Otellini, it seems you're pretty excited about the arrival of the tablets with Windows 8, considering that is basically because Windows 8 will be the only operating system for tablets that use Intel processors, not to be. But also part of the ultrabooks, you know, thin laptop MacBook Air style that Intel is trying to "push" more models from manufacturers lowering their processors as much as possible and it seems not enough because manufacturers continue to complain of expensive it is to make one of these laptops, making them difficult to put one of these laptops at competitive prices to combat the MacBook Air.
Paul Otellini on their way through Dell World 2011 left the following gem:
We believe that Windows 8 on Intel architecture, particularly in Ultrabook will give you the best experience.
We have heard this many times, with each release of a processor or a new version of an operating system, understand me, and one tends to doubt. But more important, "especially in Ultrabooks"? I understand that Intel wants to give maximum publicity to this range of laptops, but what about the tablets? Is Intel purposely forgetting the tablets? Yes.
The only weapon that Intel now has against other companies that makes processors for tablets, especially NVIDIA or Qualcomm are the ultrabooks. Under the premise that weight are similar but you can have an experience of a PC in a size "similar".
It's quite strange to see a giant like Intel to miss something like tablets, never understand exactly why they decided not to compete in the field of processors for ARM tablets where the platform takes advantage, but beyond them, while sales continue to rise and tablets Ultrabooks prices are not lower, I do not think we're going to see Intel or Ultrabooks leading the market for portable devices.
