Microsoft introduced hot new pair of tablets, Microsoft Surface Windows 8 Pro & Windows 8 RT, Today.
When the story came to a close, the Microsoft Surface tablets were pronounced dead by the tech pundit, okay, it’s not like that, but it was almost that bad! They call it “vaporware” for two reasons, “availability and pricing”.
[quote]”suggested retail pricing will be announced closer to availability and is expected to be competitive with a comparable ARM tablet or Intel Ultrabook-class PC. OEMs will have cost and feature parity on Windows 8 and Windows RT.” — Microsoft[/quote]

Microsoft Surface Reaction
Though I am in no way to judge the products, I think the tablets look juicy.
Microsoft under the care of Mr. Steve Ballmer does have a funny way to tease people with their new products. No pricing, no released date and no you can not touch the new gadgets.
I think it’s going to be a great product with great design but Microsoft ruin the climax.

Best part of all this was the presentation, where the Internet Explorer stopped working. What a fail… I kinda feel sorry for them.
You’re right bro! I can not even to begins imagine, things can always go wrong with Windows. Thats the ultimate takes home.
The presentation also tells you few things.
1) They agreed with Apple. Hardware & Software should be married. Now MS takes hardware engineering as their new baby, telling everyone, hardwares is the ultimate goals for the company, because Xbox 360 has contribute substantial revenue to the company. while also admitting that the OEM did not contribute to the awesomeness of hardware engineering, MS should step in to lead the way.
2) MS giving me the impression, they try hard to copy Apple success.
I don’t find the presentation truly Microsoft. I wish they try hard to be unique but unfortunately, Apple Fans quickly find out some words are plainly copied.
