HardwareHeaven.com posted a review on the Microsoft Surface Tablet (64GB / Windows RT)



For a company that is all about operating systems Microsoft have had a very mixed recent history. Windows Vista for example received some really negative feedback initially with the average consumer just not being able to get their head round the new OS compared to the mature XP experience. In truth the OS was decent and Windows 7 went a long way to streamlining the Windows platform getting it to a stage where most were very happy. Windows Phone 7 impressed too, in fact it is a great mobile operating system with the only real issue being a lack of apps, or at least some key software which is available on iOS and Android.

Windows 8... since Microsoft previewed the new OS for desktop use it has been highly criticised for forcing a UI on consumers which isn't ideal for current hardware. More knowledgeable users can improve the experience though, working around the decisions Microsoft have made and we use it here in the office with the likes of Start 8 making life a lot easier.
