[15] [16] By running the Boot Camp assistant with a compatible version of Microsoft Windows setup disc in the drive and switching to a Windows 8 disc when Mac OS X reboots the machine to begin installing Windows, Windows 8 can be installed on older unsupported hardware.
Windows's application compatibility layers to attempt to run poorly written applications or those written for earlier versions of the platform. [1] Lina, which runs some Linux binaries on Windows, Mac OS X and Unix-like systems with native look and feel. KernelEX, which runs some Windows 2000/XP programs on Windows 98/Me.
While some analysts count tablets with desktops (as some of them run Windows), others count them with mobile phones (as the vast majority of tablets run so-called mobile operating systems, such as Android or iOS on the iPad). iPad has a clear lead globally, but has clearly lost the majority to Android in South America, [245] and a number of ...
