Windows Coming to iPad via OnLive

OnLive, the streaming video game service launched just a few years ago, is aggressively expanding its market options by developing innovative and interesting technologies that aren’t necessarily gaming-centric. Their latest creation, OnLive Desktop, promises to bring full Windows functionality to an iPad near you.

According to OnLive, the OnLive Desktop program allows you to run a complete version of Windows on your iPad, including native Windows applications such as Excel, PowerPoint and Word. The app boasts multi-touch support and everything else you’d expect from an iPad app, with the added bonus of Windows flexibility.

Apparently you can even play PC games, though the iPad’s not exactly a high-performance gaming machine. That being said, the opportunity to run some of your favorite Windows applications on your iPad certainly helps expand the flexibility of the device, regardless of its sheer tech specs.

Look for OnLive Desktop on the App Store this Thursday – it’s free to download. You’ll also earn yourself 2GB of free cloud storage. A “premium” OnLive Desktop is slated for release later, with more applications and more features. That app will land at $9.99.

Would you run Windows on your iPad?
