Round Two of Complaining - Enter Microsoft

Last week i wrote a blog about apple. I didn't come off as a Apple fan (I don't think so anyway). This is not entirely true, I love a lot of apple products, from the security of the iMac (not impenetrable, possibly easier than windows :-O, but it does feel safer) , to the sleekness of the iPods, and the functionality of iMovie, so far that is all i have used from Apple (well iTunes but lets not go there).

But this week a friend showed me a video of something i saw around 2 years ago

Microsoft Surface

O ya screw you apple, Microsoft can do touchscreen twice as good as you, you'd think they could!

Omfg this thing is pointless. I was sitting there in stitches. it was saying how great it was that it could plan a route for you, somewhat like GPS or Google Maps but in a machine half the size of a city car. WOW. You can send pictures to loved ones and messages almost instantly, somewhat like this new technology called E-mail. It has a multi touch screen, which does look nice with the ability to have more than just to point references, so two people can manipulate different photos or video clips simultaneously, but the iPhone and other smart phones have multitouch and they fit in your pocket.

The features I like the most on the suurface is

-Syncing with your phone as soon as you place it on the table

-Integration of real world products easily with a computer

-In a coffee shop when you put you cup on the table it can tell you the specials

But who would be comfortable putting a cup of Jo on a 10,000 dollar table.

Who wants an aching pain in their back leaning over a table to go on the web or watch a few movie clips. I don't believe this computer can even rival a desktop or laptop for everyday use.

I can see what Microsoft were going for but what they have released is'nt jaw dropping, except for the price. They shouldn't of wasted their money on this but instead make sure Windows Seven's launch is a success.

I am not labeling my self a fan boy of either Apple or Microsoft, I just think they should see how the public view them and their new releases, and then work from their and they will

only become more successful.
