Microsoft Pixel Sense take on Apple

Invitations were sent in haste, the time chosen was strange (in the afternoon in Los Angeles) and the anticipation almost nonexistent. Something triggered the revelation of one of the major bets that Microsoft's memory in the hardware field. But as USA Today wrote yesterday Microsoft had its "moment Apple."

Steve Ballmer was ecstatic when he presented the new tablet from Microsoft called Surface. Or rather, two: there is a cheaper, less powerful, and a more expensive one, for professional use. Going forward, Microsoft is at stake. And it's good that Apple will start taking notes, because the Surface will wreak havoc on the market.

It is notable that Microsoft has decided to draw a tablet from beginning to end, integrated hardware and software perfectly. Steve Jobs would be proud of Steve Ballmer, who recognized in the presentation that often the hardware manufacturers are not in tune with the hardware. If Microsoft wanted to make Windows 8 tablets of revenge in space, had to roll up their sleeves.
 

Notable mainly by the reaction - the Surface is being touted as seldom happens with Microsoft Hardware. Perhaps Ballmer has used the lessons of good Xbox, one of the best products of the company. It was known that he was working on something that could be connected to the partnership with Nokia smartphones, or the purchase of a stake in Barnes & Noble, which makes electronic book reader Nook.

Since Microsoft had halted the project with HP, a tablet called Courier, all competition to the iPhone was made by Androids. The PlayBook of Research in Motion has not been anywhere and Touchpad of HP was discontinued months after being released.
