Things are looking up for Microsoft Success!!!

Sorry naysayers, but the doom and gloom might be coming to an end.

Remember, this is an $899-$999 tablet (though I prefer to describe it as a full-blown Windows PC compacted and stuffed into a tablet's chassis), not a $199 Nexus 7 or $329 iPad Mini.Also remember this is just the start. The Pro should evolve to the point where you can have a 1.5 or 2 pound tablet with all-day (at least) battery life -- and still get all of the performance of a mainstream Windows 8 laptop.
And that's the deal-closer for me. It's fast. Don't believe me? Check out these benchmarks.
"Surface Pro is easily the fastest tablet on the market today," Anandtech said.
The basic point being that Intel's Ivy Bridge silicon crushes Apple's A6X-based iPad and ARM-based Android tablets in most benchmarks.
And it's not just numbers -- you feel it. Everything pops and there's almost none of the lag you invariably run into with other tablets.

I know this because I've been using the Pro and its speed is addictive -- despite the comparative heft and shorter battery life compared with other tablets (though I wouldn't call 2 pounds "heavy" and battery life isn't as bad as reviewers make it out to be if you tweak Windows 8 settings).

And honestly, I think a primary reason Apple has left their PC lines out to rot is for exactly this reason. They don't get a cut.

I guess this is an example of Apple leaving there PC lines to rot.

Apple issues Safari update for Snow Leopard | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews

Oh gee, look at that Apple issues an update, wow, it's not as if Microsoft ever does that.

What you want to do is find out what Mac users think about Apple. Well you don't have to really because their percentage has never gone up, and yet you get all these people saying, I switched to Mac and never looked back. That seems like a bit of a joke.

Im my attempt to stay in touch with the real world, I read thru the user ( Newegg customer) comments most of the afternoon. You should do that once. It is really interesting - there are over 100 pages. Here is the link.

Damn I just bought another Windows 8 license.

Interesting to say the least 1/3 have 5 eggs 1/3 have one egg and the remainder 1/3 is in between. Most of the 5 eggs reviews have cons listed. Most of the 1 egg reviews have no pros. With those kind of reviews only 1/3 of users like windows 8 and still have cons they do not like in Windows 8.

Interesting, lol - I did not look at it so scientifically. But you are right. There seem to be few that have no issues at all. I would consider that as 'normal'. There is always something that is not 100% right.

I hope you took advantage of the 10% discount with promo code that they had today.

And keep reading the comments. It may teach you something.

That's actually interesting because most of the reviewers give it an almost 50/50 split of five eggs to one egg...

What, like how to become bitter and delusional because I can't understand a computer programme, no thanks, I'll stay the way I am. I'm happy with my lot, I don't get on the net everyday looking for bad news everyday like some people, that sort of stuff can give you a twisted view of the world.

That's better than running an advertising campaign for an audiance with no takers. Gives you perspective of the real world.

I'm not happy with my TV, I'm going to go on the Internet and find other people just like me and post negative articles for 12 months, that'll give me some perspective.

You should have read the user comments before you bought that TV.

If I read user comments I could accidentally buy a MacBook Pro or an iPhone5, no thanks. In the computer world you'd hardly buy anything except Apple and most of it is overpriced rubbish.

When it comes to computers I'll make up my own mind, I'm a leader not a follower.

 

[whs]

Yeah, a leader in a desert of smoke.

Thats okay, as long as I know where I'm going, nothing else matters, that's probably why I was a leader of the school Band.

So when we're talking prices, we must compare the Surface to the Macbook air to be fair.

When we talk about performance we compare it to cell phones and tablets?

mmkay.
