Why do you say "would have killed it"? That's exactly what killed the original tablet PCs.
- kabdib 13y agoHad MS decided to do a tablet entirely in-house, I mean. (I'm talking pre-Surface, which is why this is a somewhat tortured argument. But it also proves my point :-) ) Microsoft needs to wake up to the fact that Windows as it exists today is a really crappy OS for embedded systems. Worse, the management culture of "We need to put Windows in everything else, too" is going to continue to kill perfectly good future projects.
