Ever since the arrival of the iPad in 2010, Microsoft has been trying to catch up with a tablet of its own that could put even a small dent in the popularity of Apple's mega-hit product. Yesterday’s updates to Microsoft’s two different Surface tablets, though, suggest that the software giant is still aiming at the wrong target. Though both the cheaper Surface 2 (formerly the RT) and the laptop-replacement Surface Pro 2 have received some upgrades, neither is likely to do much to juice up their anemic sales. Who’s to blame? Perhaps outgoing CEO Steve Ballmer.
