'Aside from it being simply neat of Fox News to use the displays,'
Nah.
'it’s a nice moment for Microsoft:'
Nah.
'the company has found an early commercial use for the technology.'
Nahhhhhh.
To me it's more likely Microsoft is driving hard these visible partnerships, for example like Delta Air using Surface tables, at a loss for exposure. But I wouldn't know, I'm not a TechCrunch journalist.
- jmduke 13y agoWhy don't you think it's a good example of a commercial use? Why don't you think this is a good moment for Microsoft?
- dmazin 13y agoI don't believe it's a good commercial use because I don't believe Newsrooms need that kind of technological change - they are clearly intended to be showy, not useful, as a 17" screen would certainly do for research. I don't think Close-up, a 55" 1080p resolution can hardly lead to productive work. I sometimes use a 55" 1080p screen from five feet away and even there the text is not clear enough and too large to fit entirely in my field of vision. It's not a good moment because it's a completely irrelevant moment. I am sure Microsoft has other exciting products in thr works.
