I found a very interesting blog from http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2012/nov/09/microsoft-surface-cover-flaw  about Surface, which is the new version tablet computer designed by Microsoft. I would like to make comments on this blog and talk about Surface.

Microsoft, the pioneer of Personal Compute, is the biggest software supplier in the world. This software tycoon is expanding its market to hardware, symbolized by releasing its first generation tablet computer, Surface. By witnessing the success of Apple through developing its own software and hardware, Microsoft puts it into use and does the same thing as Apple did.

Surface, is the first generation tablet computer running by Windows 8 pro and Windows RT. It is cloud-connected with SkyDrive, so people can access their content from anywhere, at any time. This is similar to Apple and its itunes. Also, Surface is equipped with Touch Cover (spill-resistant keyboard for typing), as well as Type Cover that combines the speed and comfort of a keyboard with a super-thin design that’s ideal for extended usage at home or at the office.

Surface is selling by starting at $519, which is almost same as the newest version of Ipad. However, even though Ipad 4 is a perfect tablet computer, it looks same as Ipad 2 and Ipad 3, which make people feel aesthetic fatigue. Therefore, the demand for Surface will be pretty high. The problem is that Microsoft does not have app as many as Apple. Therefore, trying to create more app is the biggest problem Microsoft has to face.
