And note: these are the *conservative* guys who aren't comfortable with RT or Win8 to start with.
Just by releasing Surface RT, MS has already achieved its primary mission: blunting, maybe stalling, corporate iPad adoption. It has also greased the way for its OEM partners: businesses may not feel comfortable buying tabletss from MS but they'll have no problem buying HP, Dell, or Lenovo. Still a win for MS.
There's many ways to win when the game is this complex. |
I can already see my company planning on ditching the iPads on favor of the RT's which they can lock down draconically. Sigh. The only reason why the iPad was so successful in the business world, was the vacuum - there wasn't anything else for a while. However, without 3/4G connectivity, it may be a challenge. iPads in my company all have cellular - that's the whole point of them, since most computers neither have USB access nor admin rights.
