Microsoft can't even shift Windows 8 slabs in the middle of a tablet frenzy

Re: Instant reaction

Not so much keeping them in their pockets as pulling them out for Apple or Samsung.

The only reason I can think of wanting a Windows tablet is to run my old programs, none of which are tablet oriented (ha!) so I'll need that keyboard and mouse (whoops, now it's not really a tablet anymore!)

Many people bought a PC to do email, social, read, play, without any genuine need for Windows, just the brower or software which ran in it. Now apps abount for tablets along with all new games, etc. Why by Windows brand if you never really needed it and have nothing tying you to it now?

Tough sledding for Microsoft, they do not understand their users after decades of telling them they knew what was good for them.

Humble pie a la mode for Microsoft.

I remember when 5 MB were 5 1/4 inch, full height and were three grand.

Thing is, that drive will probably still spin up and work today. By reviews on these new high capacity drives the big question is how long with the 4TB drive last? DOA? A month? A year?
