It seems that Microsoft, everything related with Surface it always ends up twisting. The latest news that is traveling the specialized media in technology is anecdotal but quite embarrassing: Oprah Winfrey's passionate promotion of the tablet on social networks was being written from a iPad.
Microsoft does not seem to find a way to get the business trajectory of Surface. We already told you than his own Steve Ballmer acknowledged that the start had been modest and that the media had echoed in the first weeks since their launch of various problems that users were reporting (fragility of the smartcover, audio glitches, etc.). Microsoft also does not stop provoking and engaging in polemics with other companies, crossing criticisms of all kinds with Apple and Google, both about the iPad mini and about the mobile operating systems of both, but also receiving those of other companies, including manufacturers of tablets for Windows 8, such as HP.
Now Surface has once again become the center of attention in the specialized media when it was discovered that all the praises to the tablet that Oprah Winfrey (a very popular presenter from the United States) was pouring on her Twitter account, were actually written from a iPad (which he had also heavily promoted just a couple of years ago). Compared to other issues, the news is quite anecdotal, and it will not be the first time that a celebrity is "caught" using devices from brands other than those who hire them to advertise theirs (and probably no one will be surprised). The problem for Microsoft is that once again its prominence in the news is accompanied by controversy, and it can be said that this time, in the case of many media, it would even be more accurate to indicate that it has been mocked rather than criticized.
