Microsoft's desperate claim: A tablet is just a PC
http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/tablet-not-pc-or-why-microsofts-windows-8-str
Microsoft's mobile chief Andy Lees turned a few heads this week by declaring that a tablet is just another PC, and that Windows 8 tablets will do everything Windows 8 desktops can do. Given that this strategy has been a total failure with Windows 7, pundits are puzzled by Microsoft's insistence on treating PCs and mobile devices as if they are identical twins. Windows 7 tablets displayed at the Microsoft partner conference this week were clunky, difficult to use and take just as long to start up as Windows laptops. Windows 8 tablets may have better multi-tasking than iPads, but if they crash and force a restart as often as Windows desktops do, sign me up for an iPad 3.
