Maximum PC: "With just a few days left to go until the release of Windows 8 and the Microsoft-built Surface tablets, the Redmond-based company has donned its marketing hat. While the jury is still out on the amount Microsoft has earmarked for the Windows 8 marketing campaign, it is likely to be a large sum (some reports peg it at over $1 billion), especially considering how much Microsoft has riding on these two products. But wait, what exactly does Microsoft have “riding” on them?"
Just got to appeal to the casuals to make money.
I feel that MS is loosing money on all this cool research, i mean Windows Phones aren't a large part of the market but they have some cool features. I own an iPhone and i would like to have a few things from MS phones but i still feel the iPhone is better overall.
However SMARTGLASS will work on all phones so there may be no use for a MS phone or SURFACE tablet.
