Leader of Acer believes that Microsoft should abandon the tablet market soon.Stan Shih, leader and founder of Acer, has no doubts: Despite having recently announced the Tablet Surface, Microsoft should not abandon the very latest segment of tablets.
Conspiracy theory may seem far-fetched or strategy, but to Stan Shih makes perfect sense: "Microsoft has no interest in selling tablets with your own brand," said the head of Acer when asked by Digitimes.
If Microsoft does not want to sell tablets, that would have released tablet Surface? Shih also has an answer to this question. For the leader of Acer, Microsoft continues to be the only interest in selling aporacionais systems and productivity applications, whose profit margins are substantially higher than the manufacturing of tablets and computers in general.
It turns out that Windows 8 is the novelty factor's main asset and also the main weakness - and so will start with a negligible market share.
In announcing the Surface, Microsoft does not want to cause more than the brands of computer science and promoting the development of tablets running Windows 8. "Once you achieve this goal, Microsoft will stop selling tablets," notes the head of Acer.

Microsoft announced what has long been expected, since the launch of the iPhone in January 2010: a tablet called Surface, which many say is a "tablet netbook in disguise" (but not agree). The company, like Apple, decided to enter the tablet market "producing their own hardware" and the software itself. "We believe that any intervention between man and machine can be done best when hardware and software are integrated," he said Steve Ballmer, chief executive of Microsoft, during the presentation.
The device comes equipped with the Office suite applications and will have two models: the Microsoft Surface, Windows RT version (for tablets), 10.6-inch screen HD ClearType, memory of 32 GB and 64 GB microSD and USB 2.0 inputs, ARM processor, weighing 676 grams and only 9.3 mm thick. The second model - called Microsoft Surface Pro - will come with a 10.6 inch screen Full HD ClearType, microSDXC inputs and USB 3.0 storage capacity of 64 GB and 120 GB, processor with the third generation of Intel's Core chips, wheel Windows platform Pro 8, has 13.3 mm thick and weighs 903 g. This model does not come with Office programs.

Meet the Microsoft Surface, the tablet has come to face the iPadO we could not fail to notice here is that during the presentation, the tablet crashed (AFE!). The solution was to get a new one and continue. Sinofsky did a demonstration and explained that the Netflix streaming application has been redesigned for Windows 8. "The Surface of the Wi-Fi is the best that has appeared in a tablet," he said.
The new Surface comes with its own support - Kickstand - without the need for accessories and covers. It is equipped with Gorilla Glass, and comes with integrated hood - which is also a multitouch keyboard - with only 3 mm thick. The keyboard / cover also includes a trackpad. The Surface will come in two versions, one with an Intel processor and Windows Pro 8, and another with ARM processor and Windows RT.

Oliver Ahrens, Acer's vice president and president for Europe, Middle East and Africa, said that Microsoft was trying to copy part of Apple's strategy, but added that he had no doubt that this will work.

- Microsoft is working with two dozen PC vendors worldwide, including locations, while Apple is alone and can more or less do what he wants - he said.
- Microsoft is the component of a system for PCs A very important component, but still a component - completed.
He also expressed concern that Microsoft will divert resources to build a brand of equipment to the consumer and retail operation, and that'll take your focus garatir that Windows 8 is a success for the PC industry
