Surface Fever

If a picture is worth a thousand words then you can say that the general public is going goo goo over the newly announce tablet/PC called “ Surface ”. I for one have to agree with the kid in the picture above. I feel every bit of excitement rushing through my veins as the countdown gets closer to the Surface release; so much so that I’ve given my condition the name “ Surface Fever ”.

Now let’s go over the facts and speak on some details; we know that this is the first official hardware PC created solely by Microsoft, we also know that when Microsoft makes hardware inspired by the windows operating system it’s already a success from the start.

Looking back over the years on Microsoft innovations with hardware, you can’t help but get the feeling that this will change everything. Generally speaking for the PC industry; but now with the announcement of Surface RT & Pro the so-called Post PC era takes another back seat. The Surface tablet will not only re-shape the PC industry, but will also restructure the thought process on entertainment devices such as the kindle, nook, ipad, nexus7, and many more mobile hardware platform.

The key factors that differentiate the Surface tablet from other devices would be the simple power of the Windows operating system. With Windows there is truly no compromise with productivity, entertainment, power, and mobile portability. The Surface tablet is seen as an all in one solution for the above mentioned. Granted you have people who just want to use a simple e-reader, and nothing more, but for those that thrive for unlimited freedom and the power of the PC will soon be buying a Surface tablet.

Just take a look at the specs for the Surface RT, and the Surface Pro; depending on your needs Microsoft has covered both audiences. The general public meaning you as the everyday consumer, and the pro users such as businesses, enterprise agencies, corporate industries, and of course the techies will benefit tremendously. If you would like a more detailed or firsthand review of the new Surface tablets, just set aside some time and view the video below.

In response to my current condition over the Surface, I find myself visiting the Microsoft Surface website every day in hopes to seeing something new or possibly a fresh link for pre-orders. I know – I know we are less than a month away, but I just can’t wait to see the official TV AD’s, or another awesome Surface teaser at least.

Well until then I will continue to make my own AD’s, and enjoy the popcorn before the show; so let the countdown began until we are officially one with the Surface on 10/26/2012.

“Until next time – Stay Powered by Windows”

Microsoft again has brought mass change to the eco-system & PC industry of the world.

The Windows Build of 1995 introduced new innovations to the PC world that has continued to shape and mode the eco systems of today. Innovations of the Build 95 changed the computer industry forever; computer companies, and rival software developers had to adjust to stay relevant to the dominance of Windows 95.

16 years ago Microsoft Windows laid down a road map for PC standards, and today they again have re-imagined Windows for the world. The Windows 8 build for me will not only bring about new change but again shift the PC industry into form factors that have given new life to the PC era of today.

As PC innovations continue to get smaller and thinner, the one factor that will remain steadfast is the Windows eco-system; the Windows platform will be recognized in newer form factors yet to be introduced in this era.

Seen here in “A Day Made of Glass 2 ” you can get a glimpse of Microsoft Surfaces and how we’ll continue to enjoy Windows as the chosen (OS) for years to come.

The new build of Windows 8 will include standards such as HTML5 powered in the new Internet Explorer 10 browser; currently there are limited sites and platforms compatible with HTML5, but again that’s where Windows 8 comes in. As the PC industry continues to shift, new hardware and software developments are already underway for the official release of Windows 8.

Accelerated hardware and processor companies like Intel, ARM, Texas Instruments, Snapdragon and NVIDIA are also onboard with improvements for the life of the PC industry. Take a look at the new PC’s already here and some to come in the video below.

In conclusion to my post the naysayers would have you believe the Post PC Era is among us, but the real truth is we are far from it. As long as Microsoft exists we will never experience life without the PC; yes in the future you will see PC’s getting smaller and thinner down to a paper size due to the force and speed of technology, but rest assure, Microsoft Windows will still be the driving force of the ego system and that’s the real beauty of a Windows PC, whether it’s incased as a paper size desktop or a hand held sheet of plastic… or better yet thin air.

“Until next time – Stay Powered by Windows”
