Surface: Because Microsoft does so well making hardware?

A bad time for MicroSoft

If I was a shareholder in M$ I would be selling about now...

1, They are ignoring the lucrative business of taking money off existing customers.

2, They are missing out delivering more feature bloat into existing products.

3, They are ignoring enterprise and home customer needs (all customers).

4, They are throwing more money at existing loss making failures (phones/tablets).

5, They are pissing off all the PC constructors (except apple).

6, They are trying to compete with others - they don't know how, so why try?

7, Betting the farm on something that is already old - (why dont they try to match the products that Apple have in R&D now, not last years?)

its a laptop!

They have invented the laptop!

Does this signal that even MS know that tablets are a niche product?

Don't forget it takes MS 6 versions to get a product usable...

LOHAN to suck mighty thruster as it goes off, in a shed

I'm not a materials guru, but what happens to aluminium at -60 when its raised to whatever the rocket engine exhaust temp is in a short space of time, and simultaneously taken from external atmospheric pressure vs vacuum to internal pressure vs atmospheric?

I guess it smashes to bits and redecorates the inside of the shed?
