Microsoft Makes Fun of Apple

(youtube) Windows 8: Less talking, more doing.

That article nailed it.

Tablets aren't about getting classic "office work" done. For powerpoint, spreadsheets and documents, you're always better off with a laptop. (Which is what the surface really is - it's more laptop than tablet)

The really clever "work" being done with tablets is in enabling people to do things they never could have done with a typical computer or laptop...

There's a very, VERY vocal minority who is going to buy the Microsoft tablets. Which is fine... But I'll keep my iPad, thanks.

This is all a bit silly. The only way to get proper work done is to use a PC. With a full sized keyboard and mouse.

I go into one client site where she's got this laptop with an awful keyboard that's laid out in a weird way. So i'm constantly looking to see where the arrow keys, page down/up etc. Makes me want to hook up an external keyboard.

Tablets are wonderful toys. Nice but at best limited for work. A smartphone is much better because it's with me all the time and I can deal with emails and do basic research and er, make phone calls.

I don't know what Surface is - it's a confused proposition. [edit] And is it running RT or is it full Windows? Given the price I'm assuming it's the useless version.

The comments in that article are hilarious. It must be great to not only get the pageviews but to rile people up.
