Looks like deadend hardware and software, from Microsoft.

You are obviously superior to me, in your technical computer knowledge.

I am a mere consumer and user.

Apple has proved to be the superior company, in terms of serving the wider base of non-technical users these days.

As a mere nontechnical user, I have found it annoying to have to learn the changes, with each Windows version’s “improvements.”

I note about half of their versions are duds. If I had invested in Microsoft, I would be concerned with the ratio of their duds.

Others may like to play with computers, as a hobbyist. I got over that very quickly.

The difference between the two platforms (and this is very true and fundamental) ... is that on the one platform “the user lives for the machine” ... while on the other platform, “the machine lives for the user”.

I’ll let the reader guess which one applies to what platform ... and you’ll have absolutely no problem knowing which applies!

That is not what you said.

Your article is only referring to the RT version of the Surface 2. You had clearly said that MS was not updating the Surface, which consists of more than that one model.
