The marketplace isn't going to understand that this is more of a computer than an iPad. They need to hammer on "this runs Office".

- steverb 14y agoThe only problem is that the RT also runs Office. I think the Pro looks good and I can't wait to get hands on one, but I suspect that if MS doesn't figure out how to market things it will die a swift death. On the other hand, MS is famous for continuing to do things they suck at until they get it right. One of the benefits of having deep pockets.
- jfb 14y agoIn no wise is this "more of a computer" than an iPad (N7/Fire/&c.) It is a "Windows computer" in exactly the same way that an iPad is an "iOS computer". Thinking that "is a computer" is the same as "runs Windows" is why Microsoft is fighting the desperate, Surface-lead rear-guard action against encroachments on their turf.
