Samsung cancels US Windows RT tablet plans

[saptech]

Uh-oh, Windows RT, Samsung's got second thoughts | CES 2013: Computers and Hardware - CNET Blogs

This may not be good news for MS. I believe the Surface are priced too high!

Yep, I mentioned this in another thread yesterday(?). Samsung canceled because of "modest demand" for the window$-based product. :laugh:

It'll be interesting to see if any other manufacturers back out on their RT tablets. Could be bad for Micro$oft

I didn't really see a place in the market for the RT tablets anyway. That's a crowded space with Android and Apple. The full Windows 8 tablets have that market to themselves for now. Let's see if they can do anything with it.

I think this is going to be Microsoft's watershed....and probably for the worse.

To be totally frank, I've not been particularly impressed by Micro$oft in recent months anyway...

"To activate, go to a store that sells Windows and buy a Windows Get Genuine kit.."
...in China?... ROFL!!!

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Redmond, Washington, USA any more."

Lol. I'm sure there must be a Counterfeit Windows Get Genuine kit floating around China somewhere. D'oh!

Of course there is, they usually look something like this...

What I encountered, is that you apparently can't buy Windows in China. You can only get genuine Windows, if it comes with a new PC.
