Windows 8 is looking good to me.
These should be a natural for business since there won’t be the compliance problems that some other tablets bring.
Hope it does better than all its other Apple “killers” that failed miserably.
Except for the dark gray one, those keyboards are ugly.
I’m waiting for the Kindle Fire 2 which should be out in Sept.
For your tech Ping list.
Windows 8 Consumer Preview - One word: fail (hilarious rant)
Hi Dave, FYI Ping!
Microsoft may have shot themselves in the foot.
Don’t they understand that when they compete with their own customers in the industry, their customers will STOP doing business with them? What other manufacturer is going to build a competing tablet/desk/something top when the supplier of the OS is competing with them for the same customers, and has an advance knowledge of upcoming improvements to the OS, and reference designs? It’s a no win situation for the competitors.
As for the keyboard in the cover. I had one for my iPad... I don’t use it any more. I found that when I wanted to use it, I had to find a table or flat surface to put it on. That was inconvenient, and got in the way of using the iPad. I have a folding prop cover for my iPad... I never use it either. It is not necessary. It also is not something one finds necessary in the way one uses a tablet. What I see in the Surface is that Microsoft is stuck in the notebook paradigm.
A tablet that doubles as a laptop? That’s a winning idea, especially for business. This could be a breakthrough product for Microsoft; number three behind the iPhone and iPad in terms of recent game-changers.
On a tablet maybe. On a computer it blows massive chunks.
“...significant advances in industrial design and attention to detail....”
From Microsoft?
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!
This is a whole new design... looks interesting.
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
I just want to know how to get Windows 7 to run winword! I hate Microsoft.
It’s gotten mixed reviews. Apparently the emphasis is all on the iPad functioning.
I happen to prefer using a laptop computer on my desk. And I prefer touch typing, with only occasional use of the mouse when I need it.
Frankly, I think they are screwing MS computer users in order to try to finally break into the touchpad business. Regretable.
I’m sticking with Windows 7. I always prefer to use the latest operating system, if I can, but it looks as if this is going to be one of their losers.
“Don’t go changing, to try and please me You never let me down before...”
How embarrassing. Nice 70’s interface.
I suspected from the beginning that Bill Gates’ massive purchases of mosquito nets for Africa (yeah, right!) looked suspicious like a coverup of a new secret product!
