Microsoft launched the Surface RT tablet in October last year, which didn’t see much success. Today, they’ve announced the availability of the Surface Windows 8 Pro tablet, which should see better sales. The Surface Windows 8 Pro tablet is a true productivity device, as it runs the full blown Windows 8 Pro operating system. It’s basically [...]

Ever since Microsoft announced that it would be creating its own tablet called the Surface, it had a lot of people wondering whether or not this meant the Redmond company would begin creating hardware for other products. Microsoft has obviously been known by its software, but a much smoother user experience can be created when [...]

All the tech giants have had a pretty impressive year in 2012 to say the least and to be honest they have to if they wish to maintain their dominant hold in this aggressive market. One of these companies is Microsoft, which recently detailed all of their milestones in a well-done video that we will get [...]

Since the launch of Windows 8 (and the Surface, with its Windows RT), there’s been one prominent app that’s been conspicuously missing from the platform: Facebook. For whatever reason, Facebook hasn’t released an official app in either the Windows Store on Windows 8, or the Surface version thereof. No one knows what they have planned, [...]

The year is almost over, and that means it’s time for those annual market share reports to come rolling in.

Oprah always does giveaways, product promotions and what not on her talk show. Most of her followers blindly do what ever she says [...]

Microsoft has been reduced to playing second fiddle to Apple in recent years, at least when it comes to overall profits, and it looks like the Windows creators might be planning to take a page out of Apple’s playbook when drawing up their future plans.

As you may remember, Microsoft’s Surface Team Manager claimed on Reddit that the Surface RT’s 1366 by 768 display could show more detail than the iPad 3′s higher resolution 2048 by 1536 display, due to the Windows RT tablet’s improved contrast ratio, ClearType Font rendering, and lower screen reflectance. Before the Surface was released, DisplayMate [...]

Remember Microsoft’s original Surface? That enormous coffee table with a huge touchscreen embedded in the top of it? That project still exists, although it’s been renamed PixelSense, and the Surface name has been passed on to Microsoft’s new regular-sized tablets. We haven’t heard much about PixelSense recently, though, and it’s unclear what the future holds [...]
