Are OEMs creating a self-fulfilling prophesy?
Having just written about the paucity of Windows Tablets in the retail channel I have to wonder if Microsoft’s OEMs are creating a self-fulfilling prophesy. Microsoft came out with the Surface because the OEMs weren’t creating the kinds of products necessary to … Continue reading

Performance of the Microsoft Surface and Windows RT
