In the D10 Digital Conference held by The Wall Street Journal, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook expressed his sharp criticism about Windows 8 to be launched by Microsoft. According to Cook, the idea of this OS attempting to perfectly apply to both tablet and PC is far from realistic.

On D10, Tim Cook said : "[With Windows 8, Microsoft] is pulling all of the leg weight of the PC market. You wind up with something that's very similar to what tablets were 10 years ago. The more you look at combining the tablet and the PC, the more the baggage from the past affects the product. If you force them together, the tablet and PC can't be as good as they can be".

Cook recently accepted an interview from the celebrities Walt Mossberg and Kara Swinge. The two asked Cook his opinion towards Microsoft trying to make its new operating system Windows 8 applicable to both the PC and Tablet. Cook replied, “In my view, the tablet and the PC are different. You can do things with the tablet if you are not encumbered by the legacy of the PC. If you merge the two, the PC isn’t as good as it can be; nor is the tablet.”

Obviously, Cook’s statement denied the possibility of Macbook having a touch-screen version. Apart from this, Cook mentioned that he used iPad at work even more than computer but he added he equally loved his Mac.
