When you go in an electronics store and ask for a product that would fit you, you automatically get proposed an iPad, MacBook, Mac or an Android device. Even if you took your time to explain that you need a device for real work. It seems like the consumer market is so focused on entertainment that salesmen forget that some people have different needs. Whatever your needs are, you are always being pushed towards a device that you don't even need.
When I buy a product I want the one that fits the most my needs, I am not the one who will buy a product simply because the cool kids have it. I want a product that is versatile and will be able to do whatever I want it to do at a given time. And most of the time, Microsoft offer that product.
Windows Phone does what I ask of a phone and can be handy if I need to edit a Word document or a PowerPoint that I must finish ASAP for a presentation. This is what I need in a phone.
Windows 8 Tablets does what the iPad can do and I can use it as a real work device from times to times and this is why I will buy one.
Windows 8 is my good old Windows 7 with a fun, intuitive and convenient interface that is there to entertain me when I'm not into the "real work" thing. It adds so much to the OS I already loved that it was a "Must have" to me.
I owned a MacBook Pro Retina and I sold it to a friend two months ago. Why? I was not using it anymore... I became a boring device with no "soul" while Windows 8 seemed to fit all my needs.
My Lumia 920 is now my MP3 player and my iPod is getting dusty... Why? Because I don't need an iPod anymore, I have a phone with sufficient battery life to be my MP3 player.
I think there s no one-size-fits-all, but Microsoft did such a good job with it's newest products that it's almost there.
I love the new Microsoft and I am not going back as long as their products fill my needs.
Everybody is different, but salesmen are pretty much all the same.
