Even if the Surface were the Ferrari of tablet environments (which it’s not) overlaying an extra user interface atop Windows is like bolting a Ferrari body to the rusted out chassis of a 1985 Pontiac. This is certainly worth a read, just to see what the writer had to say. Now here is the question, does anyone agree with the writer’s argument, or do you think it is merely written by someone who doesn’t fully understand the difference between Windows 8, RT and the Windows variants of old?

  • NOT worth a read because it adds to the author’s click count and literally feeds the troll.

  • All I needed to see was the line “Windows won’t work for businesses”. I don’t think I need to read more.

  • Hah. Windows CE is _still_ being widely used in mobile data collection. Heck, even Apple Stores were initially using Windows Mobile handhelds for on-the-floor checkouts before they got an app written to use on their iOS devices. My first handheld with a Casio Cassiopeia running Windows CE 2.x and I it was great for preparing my invoices with Pocket Excel while kicking back with dinner at Disneyland years ago (when an annual pass was actually affordable). I’ve moved on to Android since then, but I’ve still got an iPAQ sitting around that actually gets use from time to time.

  • Please explain how you can contract a virus on Windows RT? It’s not possible. You aren’t allowed to install any piece of software outside of the Windows store. Unless the contaminated file is in the store itself then there is no possible way to get one.
