Microsoft's new tablet

It has at least two major impacts. This tablet looks good for Microsoft and the potential price appreciation of its stock price. It should be an event but the media treat it as a non event.

* There is no pundit about this tablet. They flopped too many times, but it could be the most important event since Office and for sure at least at the same level of XBox.

It differs from selling Windows to PC makers like Dell but it poses direct competition with its PC makers. It could be a case that your mother (Microsoft) calls your children ugly (Dell, HP...) or punishes your children for abandoning the parents (Windows) for tablets.

* It will be a perfect travel companion for me satisfying all my needs for using it running investment software that require Internet Explorer and most of my data are stored in Excel.

iPad is a good one with thousands of apps. However, it lacks a USB port for printers, backup devices...The most beautiful woman will not do you any good, if she does not satisfy your needs. :)


It is about time that Microsoft's management wakes up from the dreams on how to spend their bonus money and take some risk to launch new products instead of living from the hard work of their parents (the young Bill and those who toiled for their first million).
