   "Only Microsoft could put 35 gigabytes worth of OS on a 64 gigabyte tablet"

   http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/29/3929110/surface-pro-disk-space-windows-8

   Could we please stop referring to Microsoft as a company that has even half a clue what they're doing?

   I know it's like two weeks old, but you really couldn't make this shit up.

   Seriously, I could be ranting about Microsoft, and I could be saying something like "Microsoft so dumb, their OS fills half their tablet" - But I would be KIDDING. Because nobody's stupid enough to actually do something like that - Right?

   Right?! Well, there it is.

   You're forgetting something. The surface pro can be expanded by memory cards and external disc space. Something you can't do with lets say the iPad.
   I think they know very well what they're doing. But yeah let's hate on MS because that is what is cool right now right?

   D.O.A.

   Microsoft will never get a noticeable piece of the tablet cake. End of story.

   Taking up half the space with your OS is not a good business move. Period.

   I think the Mac proved once and for all that building your business around ultra-nerds isn't the most profitable thing to do.

   I'm pretty sure the standard user would prefer a lot of space to a lot of OS. They don't buy a tablet to pimp it, they buy it to use it.

   Also, let's not forget that this is the company that came up with the Zune. Arguably the most pathetic attempt at a music player in recent memory. Clearly they don't check their shit before it goes out the door.
