Chromebook, Chromebook, Chromebook..... That's what's many pundits in the blogosphere have been pushing since it came out but specially this year because it got some updates, and many OEMs decided to go into the bandwagon and some school district chose the Chromebook cause its $price. But, I've been very-how can I put this- ain't gonna happen. And time and MS have proved me right. We all know that the Chromebook is just a expensive browser in a hardware and when many of those who purchased the Chromebook realized this they will return it back. This is the end from MS many of those pundits predicted and their hope got a big push when MS wrote-down $900m because W-RT but what they never expected was how fast MS bounced back with not just one but 3 Surface pro and the Surface 2 -RT-. The pivot was so fast and genius that they could not react; now what they trying to do is to diminish how good the Surface's family actually is. They will say anything to scare people from it, but thankfully people are relaying less and less in those fan-boys reviews and actually testing the product for themselves.
And this isn't just happening in the U.S.A others country are getting into the bus as well plus MS now is working with its Chinese division to developed and OS for the 2nd biggest economy in the world. So, things are looking good for MS and if things keep going like this I truly believe WP will get the benefit from all of this. The new environment at MS headquarters is really looking sharp. The most people are expose to how good W8.1 is and realize that WP is just as good they will go for it and history will change again.
