Microsoft's next OS for PCs and tablets powered by 32-bit and 64-bit x86 chips will come in two consumer flavors, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro. Another edition of the x86-optimized Windows 8 will be made available to bulk purchasers, while the Windows on ARM (WOA) offering, Windows RT, comes in just one flavor and is only available as a pre-installed OS.
