Windows 8 sucks. The Surface sucks.
Its not too late.
I know management is wedded to Microsoft but they need to face reality.
The writing is on the wall. Microsoft tablets are like the Sony Betamax VCRs.
Would it be possible to organize an "intervention"?
Although Windows 8 (Iteration 1) was a bust...especially "RT" that was the worst of both worlds (tiles with no start menu and couldn't run cornerstone apps such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc), the upcoming Windows 8 "Blue" will fix these and allow you to run software you run on your PC. If that is the case and it's small and light, it will kick iPads butt. Just like the iPhone, iPad was ahead of the game when it came out but the more you use it the more you realize how limited it really is IMHO. Each to their own though.
