Surface Pro: To Be Or Not To Be
I have already blogged about my thoughts on Surface RT (Surface RT: To Be Or Not To Be (Part 1)). Much of the same things apply to the Surface Pro such as how it was announced & launched, price & marketing, so I will not rehash those in this post.

Surface RT: To Be Or Not To Be
So the Surface RT has been out for 9 months and Microsoft just declared a $900 million dollar write-down. So how did this happen and what does it mean for Microsoft’s efforts to break into the tablet market? I have been thinking a lot about most of the information below since the Surface product line was released. If you are looking for a “Microsoft Is Dead” story, then don’t read any further. But if you want an honest look at what I think led Microsoft to this point and what I think can be done to make Surface RT devices better, then please continue reading.

Surface Tablets: The Price Must Be Right
After watching the video of the announcement about the new Surface tablets and comments by other users I wanted to add my thoughts to the discussion. Balmer stated that sales of the surface tables will only be a small percentage of tablet sales. I personally think that how the Surface tablets sell will be a big indicator on how successful Win8 is going to be on tablets (Unless MS overprices it). This is similar to how people will look at Nokia WP8 phone sales as an indicator on how successful WP8 will be.
