A Big Week for Tech Announcements

Monday Oct 22 2012

Henry Blodgett finds Windows 8 frustrating. And I note that he has made the jump to Apple anyway. He is right, I gave my iPad back because it frustrated me using the screen and the keyboard. Windows 8 is the same set up for a PC. 

Meanwhile Apple may announce a mini iPad tomorrow. Apple is shipping ten times the tablets of Amazon and Samsung.  If Apple can price this under $300, what will the amrket be for MSFT Surface table at $499? disappointing sales of their new tablet and poor reviews of Windows 8 would be another bummer for Balmer.

    I have used 8 beta thru its testing periods and can say it is another MSFT product that I really like. As with all software releases from them (primarily the OSs)there will always be bugs to work out that were missed by their programming and testing teams. And just like everything else, you will have those that like and dislike; no big deal. 8 is an entirley new puppy and will take time to get used to. Billy got it right much sooner than the last few times. I really like it. (It always amazes me that people have no idea what it takes to construct an OS…)
