MS Drops Surface RT
-
Dropping the Surface makes sense. But dropping RT? That would be surprising. Does that signal the death of the Windows Phone too?
-
@scottalanmiller I don't think so. MS mentioned they had 3 versions of Windows 8. The versions they mentioned were Windows 8, RT, and mobile. They said one is going to go. See article below

Hmmm. Will they port windows 8 to ARM then or are they giving up already?

Maybe the better question is Will Windows 8 devices just move away from ARM completely?
Its starting to look that way.
-
Sad. As everyone else is moving toward them.
-
@scottalanmiller Do you think the Atom Processor will be in Smartphones soon?

They gave up on it once, what makes you think they won't again?

@scottalanmiller We can only hope they drop Windows phones. They suck anyways...lol

New CEO. Have got to tighten up operations and product lines. Wonder what the new world vision looking 5-10 years ahead is for them.

Everyone is convinced that they are going to be an Android shop.
-
I'm not surprised by this, but it was my understanding so they could allow the Mobile Group to build a unified product for that sector.
-
You would have thought. Mobile and RT could easily have been one and the same. They are for iOS and Android!

I was reading about the large amount of turnover lately in the desktop area in MS and these things be split was one of them. I hope this means we'll see them get on a better path.
