Software giant Microsoft looks as if it has taken
the challenge to itself to rise in challenge of
strong competition. Remember the time when
Netscape was in neck to neck with Microsofts
Internet Explorer in web browsing domination? Or
when Sony was dominating the gaming world which
gave birth to the Xbox? And now as we know it,
Apple has taken a very big chunk in the computing
world most particularly in the Tablet
technology where iPad has taken the market by
storm. This most recent challenge from Apple
has once again ignited a fire in Microsoft.
Tablet technology market has been a passion for
the company with which it has tried to perfect
and dominate in the recent decade. The release of
Windows 8, has clearly turned its aim toward the
tablet market. Previous attempt in the tablet
technology has shown its great flaw in clunky
hardware and low performing battery life and
design.

Microsoft have recently lunch a pair of tablets
running on Windows 8 one that is based in ARM
platform on Windows 8RT and the other running on
a familiar Intel chipset with Windows 8 Pro.
Physically it seems more alike and having the
look, feel, size and weight of an iPad. What
probably sets it apart from iPad is that it has a
larger HD quality screen, a magnetic cover that
apes the smart cover from Cupertino, a full
keyboard and touchpad but with minimal additional
size or weight. With Windows 8 running in the
background MS Office comes in very handy.
Microsoft is offering the best of both worlds
compatibility with familiar applications and a
touch-driven tablet experience. What remains to
be seen is its competitiveness in terms of
pricing the issue on battery life. But given, the
hype and the noise Microsoft is trying to create
could be a sign that it is ready to challenge and
take over the Tablet Market. In any event,
Microsoft has stepped up its attack on the tablet
market with a cannonade in the form of the
Surface tablet. Is Microsoft ready to take the
lead once again? Image Source microsoft
