So you are attacking my opinion with an opinion piece? How totally unfair and unbiased you are, my dear sir! Im pretty much wrong about everything, yet Im ready to take a bet on it. With every minute that passes Apple and Google are eating away at the tablet market, and MS arrives 3 year late with a questionable (content wise) tablet, and you expect it to fly off shelves at the ridiculously high price point, when anyone could easily buy a quality 200$ Android tablet, or if they have the money, the far more established iPad. No sir, the MS Deffence Force is wrong this time around, and like it or not Office is not a tablet tool, and it will barely move any units on its own. Dead product, that will only live on for a couple of year, because MS has the power to bully retailers to stock them |
I crated a thread the other day salmming the Surface, so I'm hardly defending it or Microsoft. - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=149082&page=1
I am not getting one as I want the full Windows 8 experience, but I am able to recognize a successful launch when I see one.
An x86 Windows 8 tablet like surface will OWN the business market when it comes out, no matter what the price point is. My company has already ordered 10 Windows 8 tablets even before anyone in the upper management knew what they are going to be like. Today all I'm hearing is "MS Surface! MS Surface!" so they will most likely order a lot more and we are hardly the only ones doing this.
As far as consumers, go to your best buy or Staples and take a look how hard these devices are being pushed and at what price points. Every laptop, touch screen or not has been upgraded to Windows 8 and some even start at $249.
