It
looks like MSFT has another hardware failure. Vendors like Dell, ASUS,
Lenovo are offering steep discounts on the Windows RT tablets clearly
indicating that they aren’t selling. MSFT, of course, hasn’t cut their
prices because they remain blind to the obvious.
If
you are one of the half-dozen or so people out there who actually wants
to spend money on a Windows RT device go to Amazon.com, Best Buy,
Staples and Office Depot and see how the prices have dropped. Or, you
can wait a few months for the fire sale and save even more!
Here’s what ComputerWorld has to say:
Though
Microsoft has not publicly acknowledged the failure of Windows RT,
there is already growing concern about the fate of the OS. IDC earlier
this month said that Windows RT tablet shipments have been poor, and
that consumers have not bought into "Windows RT's value proposition."
PC and chip makers have acknowledged poor adoption of the operating system. Nvidia's CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, last month said he was disappointed with the poor response to Windows RT, and Acer executives have said that Microsoft needs to improve the usability of RT.
