Last night Microsoft has started to promote the Surface tablet with the help of the video clip above, today published for a short time and the prices of the product, and I for one was expecting something else from them. For the tablet running Windows RT, not Windows 8, Microsoft asks for a minimum of $499 in the case of the 32GB version, which does not come equipped with the touchpad keyboard that everyone was expecting. If users also want the famous Touch Cover keyboard, then the price increases to $599, and the 64GB version is $100 more expensive, but again I tell you that here we are only talking about the version that runs Windows RT. iPad 3 Wi-Fi Only has a starting price of $499 for the 16 GB version, the 32 GB version costs $599, and the 64 GB version costs $699, so the prices are close, except that in the case of the iPad tablet get that keyboard
At first glance, you will say that the prices are very good, but Windows RT is the younger brother of Windows 8 and it cannot run the programs available for Windows 8. For Windows RT, special applications must be made that will be available in the Windows MarketPlace, but until then the users will manage, only with the few existing ones and with what Microsoft offers them. The problem is that people are waiting with great interest for the tablet running Windows 8 and if the version with Windows RT starts at $499, then the version with Windows 8 will be much more expensive.
