Intel CEO Paul Otellini: Microsoft Windows 8 OS is being released before it’s fully ready

This can’t be good.

Intel Corp. (INTC) Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini told employees in Taiwan that Microsoft Corp.’s Windows 8 operating system is being released before it’s fully ready, a person who attended the company event said. Improvements still need to be made to the software, Otellini told employees at a company meeting in Taipei today,

If anyone should know, it is Otellini, who is also on Google’s Board of Directors and might be feeling some of the sting from the ARM-based Windows RT. Still:Ouch.

Many believe Microsoft’s Windows 8 strategy is reactionary and being dictated by the success of the iPad.
