I read this article, http://money.cnn.com/2010/07/29/technology/microsoft_analyst_meeting/index.htm, and I think that Microsoft's tablet isn't going to be very successful.
Microsoft got the idea to make a tablet when Apple came out with their iPad. The tablet industry started growing and Microsoft knew that it was very important to make a tablet.
There are a few reasons I don't think Microsoft's tablet will do well. First and foremost, Microsoft doesn't have the best reputation of creating the most sleek devices. This will cause a lot of hesitation among consumers. They will probably think of the failure of Vista and compare it to the Windows 7 thats running on the new tablet. Another reason I think the new tablet won't do well is that it is a newcomer into a market that is populated by the iPad. Many consumers would want to stick with the iPad, which has already proven itself to be a very good tablet. Also, a lot of people also don't like Windows 7. It is very prone to viruses and is sometimes very slow and CPU-consuming. I don't think that the new tablet from Microsoft will fair very well in the tablet market.
"There are a few reasons I don't think Microsoft's tablet will do well. First and foremost," <--- The phrase "there are a few reasons" is redundant. Why not just say, "First and foremost, I don't think Microsoft's tablet will do well because..."
ReplyDelete"This will cause a lot of hesitation among consumers. " <--- change to "Consumers will hesitate because of Microsoft's rocky reputation."
For your post tomorrow, write about the book Looking for Alaska. Assume that I've already read it. No use of the word, "Good, bad, interesting, cool, stuff, things, absorbing, strange, weird, odd, boring, very, got, somewhat, basically, actually." Make sure it's analysis - look around the web for other reviews critiques of it if you have to.
