The Microsoft tablet that we already find in the international market is not having the results that were expected. Perhaps consumers are not finding enough incentives to invest a good amount of money in a tablet that, however different, entered the market with less security. If we are looking for a positive incentive to decide to buy it when it arrives in Spain, it should be noted that Microsoft will support Surface for 4 years since January 2013.
The American medium ZDNet has studied with patience and dedication the terms and conditions of Surface on the Redmond page and has found, among the multiple sections and paragraphs of a somewhat ambiguous text, a commitment of the company to have updated the software of the tablet until April of 2017. The weird thing is that support life cycle or useful life support Starts January 24, 2013, as if the product had not already been sold in 2012 in many countries. Perhaps this date indicates the expectation of the first Windows RT operating system software update that we found on Surface RT.
They specify that these updates will have to do with improvements but also with to maximise security and your enjoyment.. The figure of four years is a little lower than the five that Microsoft usually gives its Windows operating systems, but you also have to understand that now everything goes much faster in advancements and product life.
It is interesting, in any way that the media try to find incentives to buy a device that in itself already has interesting things, surely for many consumers, although it is not having brutal sales, but just humble. However, you have to understand that this happens in all houses. There are other tablets that have incomprehensibly low results although they have brutal equipment and tablets that offer brutal sales results even though they have some specifications. two years ago. As in everything lately the profitability of the projects is not assured by an intense marketing campaign. In Spain, it is likely that we will not see the tablet until early 2013.
