MS just announced that it will offer free MS OS for smartphones and 
tablets with a 9 inch or smaller display non-business device. They 
decided that since Android is free, MS OS should be free istead of 
asking the manufactures to pay $5 to $15 each device. They hope this 
will increase the MS OS mobile device market share.  They may also be 
offering a 1 year of free "cloud" services like Office 365 for these 
devices.

So if they do start getting more market share on tablets, our developers 
may need to make sure LO would on tablet versions of Windows 8.1, like 
their own "tablet" device.  I do not know if anyone on these lists 
bought one of these MS tablets and/or knows if LO would work on them.  
If it does, then we are prepared for that MS market grabbing "offer".

As for Ubuntu on a tablet - I would like for someone to tell me OFF LIST 
how to do such a thing and what the system specs low end really is for 
Ubuntu on a tablet.  I have an old 7 inch that could use a new OS.
