Microsofts Ipad Killer

Microsoft have never done anything well. I doubt this will be their turning point.

OSX > Linux > any obscure operating system > Microsoft windows.

That was worded poorly I suppose. My point is, its so very underpowered, at least the earlier versions I used. To me, It couldn't have taken much more to at least run a slimmed down version of the current to that time Mac OS. I was simply let down by the confined use. Its just a large iPod in my eyes.

It wouldn't have taken much to run full OSX, other than giving up great battery life, low weight, low heat, instant on, and low price.

I agree that it would be nice if Apple would make a MacBook tablet, but that is unlikely. The reason that they will not do that is because a) desktop apps are fucking terrible on a tablet (use a VNC client for more than 5 minutes and it gets old FAST) and b) product line confusion. Most people are, frankly, too dumb to figure out what the right device for them is, and having a "better" tablet option would please a small number of people while confusing the shit out of others.

looks at the xbox, windows server, and countless other products.

Yeah they have never done anything well.

PS3 is a far superior machine to the X Box 360.

I'm not sure that I would call Windows Server a particularly good product.

Who else has a better directory service?

It looks interesting - when it was called "surface", I was hoping it had something to do with that really cool research project they had with a table that had a special display on it that reacted to objects etc.

I think perhaps calling it an "ipad" killer isn't a good choice. let the device stand on it's own. and frankly, I love my smartphone, but damn it's a pain in the ass using the soft keyboard all the time.

the market says you're wrong.

No its not. PS3 almost dragged sony under.

The market is retarded.


The PS3 is far superior in terms of performance and capabilities than the X Box 360. The only reason I have an X Box is because it's better online, only due to the stupidity of the average gamer. If the PS3 had a greater share of the market, the online experience would improve and I'd happily sell my cheaply made POS X Box.

No, you.

Please tell me more about how much you think you know about the gaming industry.

You just called yourself a retard...

Onto the topic at hand,
I really hope this tablet is far superior to the iPad. Ive been using apple products for 8+ years (mostly iPods though) and can easily say I'm still a microsoft fan at heart.

Please tell me more about how you think a cheap POS with shit specs is better than a PS3.
