Microsoft is in a tough spot. Windows RT is all but dead in the water. But
Microsoft has approximately a zillion and a half Surface RT tablets
collecting dust in warehouses. And so Ballmer and Co. continued its ignorant
fight against Apple and the far more successful iPad with another TV spot
that pits the two against each other.
Spoiler: The Surface RT is declared the winner.
Like in previous commercials, the Surface RT’s legitimate advantages are
touted over the iPad and iOS. And in many cases, Microsoft isn’t exactly
deceitful. The Surface, and with that, Windows RT, has clear advantages over
the iPad. At first blush Windows RT feels more productive and advanced than
iOS. But after a couple of swipes left and right on the Start Screen, the
novelty wears off.
Of course Microsoft failed to stack Windows RT’s apps against those found
in iOS.
Windows RT was a dog from the start. And now that Asus pulled back from the
market, the little brother to Windows 8 will quickly fade into irrelevance.
With Asus out, just Dell and Microsoft remain as the only Windows RT
hardware providers. Samsung, HTC, HP, and Lenovo previously pulled plans for
a Windows RT tablet.
“It’s not only our opinion,” CEO Jerry Shen remarked to the Wall Street
Journal. “The industry sentiment is also that Windows RT has not been
successful.”
At this point, with Windows RT’s support quickly drying up, Microsoft is
doing consumers a disservice attempting to pawn their unsuccessful tablet
onto unsuspecting buyers shopping on specs alone. The Windows RT product
segment will soon be dead, and with it, the little developer support it
currently has will quickly follow suit, leaving consumers with a tablet that
will be stuck in the past.
Like I wrote in June, Microsoft, stop trying to make Windows RT happen. | u*******m

无论从硬件和软件来讲，要是在十年前，还是很有竞争力的，还是很
有可能在市场上领先的。可惜啊，时间不对。 |
