Is Microsoft's tablet strategy really a good one? | |

Earlier this week, I talked about the iPad’s influence on the tablet market and how Microsoft is going to be re-introducing Windows 7 tablets next month at CES. A number of people added their thoughts in the comments of that post. Ironically, there were two completely opposite schools of thought about Microsoft’s tablet strategy that emerged from those comments (which mirror a lot of people’s differences of opinions over tablets as a whole). The first opinion is that Windows 7 is a better choice for tablet computing than other options like Apple’s iOS, Android, or even RIM’s PlayBook. The attitude is that a Windows 7 tablet is a full featured PC in a slimmer and more portable form than a typical notebook. This gives the tablet full access to all Windows software, the range of enterprise network and Internet capabilities built into any Windows PC, a robust ecosystem of peripherals and accessories, and the option of using a stylus for more detailed input than a finger based tablet or smartphone OS. | ||
