Okay, here’s what I think about Surface.
Microsoft is doing an incredible effort to emulate Apple succes by trying to make a better iPad. However no matter how they accesorize an ‘iPad like’ tablet, they can’t compete because it’s not an iPad.
Much like a Coke ain’t a Pepsi.
The iPad is one of the first Post-PC devices, first of many.
I say Microsoft should’ve wait, and instead of releasing a wanna be iPad, they should’ve been thinking about whats next.
I thought of this while trying to make sense out of this numbers:
In 1984, DOS PCs outsold the Mac 6-to-1. By 2004, the ratio of Windows PCs to Macs sold peaked at 56-to-1. Today it’s under 20-to-1 and still dropping — but if you include iOS devices, it’s down to 2-to-1. Staggering.
Is Microsoft finally scared of Apple?
