You sound like a troll with that comment....10-25-2012 05:59 PMLike 0 - I find it funny that the NY Times reviewer dinged the Surface for not having notable apps, including the NY Times which is launching tomorrow at release. More and more apps are hitting the store and I am still excited. The reviewers who talk about not supporting legacy apps are IMHO dumb, why would i want legacy hardware on a tablet. Freaking SWTOR was more than 10GB and thats before all the patches and updates!
I am more than sure that all intuit programs will find themselves available in metro style soon enough10-25-2012 06:34 PMLike 0 - I find it funny that the NY Times reviewer dinged the Surface for not having notable apps, including the NY Times which is launching tomorrow at release.

WP7 apps will run on WP8, but not the other way around (*).
Modern apps are identical for W8 and WRT. The same app will run on both OS' (**).
Modern apps WILL NOT run on WP8, and the other way around won't work either (***).
(*) apparently a small number of exceptions exist where the WP7 app will not run on WP8
(**) identical means the source code is identical. The binary files you download from the app store will differ depending on whether you've got an ARM or an x86 device.
(***) some differences exist. Porting a modern app to WP8 will require the developer to redesign parts of the UI and strip out some functionality only available on WRT. Testing the two different "flavors" of the same app will probably end up being much more time consuming than adapting the source code.
With the exception of (*), this is how Microsoft has always explained it.
Finally, until every human on earth is of identical size, weight and build, there is no such thing as a universally ergonomic device. Apple's "studies" on the perfect tablet size (4:3) are not studies... it's called marketing. If Apple ever decides they need a device that can more closely compete with the Surface, then they will redefine 15:9 as the perfect aspect ratio. It's how Apple works... it's how they've always worked.Last edited by a5cent; 10-25-2012 at 08:52 PM. Reason: Spelling

I carry around my laptop a bit. To think the Surface RT would be a bother to use in comparison is insane.10-25-2012 09:20 PMLike 0 - Ha! Tim Cook has weighed in on the Surface and has called it "compromising and confusing", but wait! His opinion is based on what he's read - he hasn't seen or touched the device. What an *****. Basically he said, "It's not Apple, so it's poop."
Here's a tip Timmy - stick to what you're good at - engaging in frivolous law suits that make your company look like a petulant child.

I'm interested in the intel atom based tablet, because it seems faster than Tegra 3.

It seems like a lot of people are scared that the Surface will do well. I see this as a good thing for all tablets if surface does well. We will see better competition and a less stagnate market for Tablets.

***Dumpster***10-26-2012 09:17 AMLike 0 - I don't get it... No Outlook? No Silverlight? No SkyDrive (really??)... Why is that so, are they saving the good (and essential) stuff for the full-blown WIN 8 Surface ?10-26-2012 02:51 PMLike 0
- Microsoft Surface gets the thumbs down in early reviews | Technology | guardian.co.uk
Verdicts published overnight in the US, the first from journalists to have tested Surface at home, have praised its touchscreen interface but slated the machine for poor resolution, being too heavy, using substandard cameras, and having a narrow selection of apps which are prone to crashing.10-26-2012 02:56 PMLike 0 - 10-26-2012 02:59 PMLike 0
