Apple Lacks Productivity - Microsoft by vowiski(m): 10:38am On Oct 24, 2013
The Surface hasn’t lived up to the hype and everyone has equally pointed accusing fingers to Steve Ballmer for making the gadget a flop. Mr. Ballmer is leaving but the Surface 2 has already been released and Microsoft’s corporate vice president of communications, Frank Shaw believes both the Surface and Surface 2 are far ahead of what Apple has to offer. Frank says Apple doesn’t understand productivity.

Frank spent time on the Official Microsoft Blog to reveal not any earth-shattering information but to ridicule Apple’s revamped iWork and the new iPad.

That’s what Surface is. A single, simple, affordable device that helps you both lean in and kick back. Let’s be clear – helping folks kill time on a tablet is relatively easy. Give them books, music, videos and games, and they’ll figure out the rest. Pretty much all tablets do that.

But helping people be productive on a tablet is a little trickier. It takes an understanding of how people actually work, how they get things done, and how to best support the way they do things already.

The good news is that Microsoft understands how people work better than anyone else on the planet.

You really fell for the negative PR against Win 8? shocked
If you wanted to seek my opinion, I would say Win 8 is an excellent improvement
over Win 7. Faster and more secure.. Although, I no longer use the Metro, I guess it would make
sense on the Surface.

It's so unfortunate, angry . I deliberately refused to upgrade to 8.1, my friend's already updated and it's looks really awesome. cheesy
