With numbers like those (where M$ has less than 4.5% of the tablet market
with it's Pro and RT combined), it's not looking good for Surface.

I see the M$ Pezz dispenser that gives out
I'm not surprised. Even with the price cuts, its twice the price it should
be with a keyboard added.

They were late to the tablet game - the RT is sort of pointless and the
full Windows 8 tabs that should make a killing in the corporate world
are too expensive.

Are any of the new windows operating systems VFP friendly? If so, which
OS's and which VFP versions? The absences of VFP is a show stopper for me.

from the ASUS table...both running Andriod, although (obviously)
different flavors.

I agree with your verdict on Win 8, and I would say better than win 7 which,
here, has menu problems (some items not appearing until mouse over)
However I would say the biggest problem with Android is the product
suppliers. Samsung are crap at keeping up to date. They expect you to buy a
new machin

if they don't make it free for everyone with Win8.

You mean on the tabs exclusively? Well, Windows RT no - it's a different
codebase, on the ARM architecture. The non-RT tabs run Windows 8 as per
desktop machines, so basically the sam
The news is yes free to win 8 users. But pro is 199$ otherwise. And it seems
M$ are not going to do upgrades. 199$ is it. New or XP. Now I feel right
when I took advantage of the cheap upgrade when it came out. I got a whole
heap of PC's here updated then. And the other news is its due in October,
hing down near the clock...
I would like to commend Lenovo on this tablet design though...very nice
feel! Thin, light, but substantial. And the battery life is
awesome...best guess is around 6 hours of playing video/audio non stop
on Youtube.
