TechRadar-:"We've all seen what a revolutionary design overhaul Windows 8 has been for Microsoft's famous operating system. The snazzy new Metro interface can be navigated with a touchscreen or a mouse. It's a smart design for a computing landscape where the line between tablet and PC is steadily eroding."
Ian Paul of PC World writes: We conduct a séance of sorts to call forth the souls of operating systems past—not so we can gaze upon their ghastly interfaces, but to learn from their tragic demises.
The Verge: Microsoft was left alone as the last manufacturer of Windows RT-based tablets, and now the software giant is no longer producing any RT devices. A Microsoft spokesperson has confirmed to The Verge that the company is no longer manufacturing its Nokia Lumia 2520 Windows RT tablet. "We are no longer manufacturing Nokia Lumia 2520; however, those still eager to buy Nokia Lumia 2520 should visit Microsoft Retail Stores, MicrosoftStore.com, third-party retailers and resellers for the latest availability." The confirmation comes just a week after Microsoft revealed it has stopped manufacturing the Surface 2, another Windows RT tablet.
I got 2 windows RT tablets a windows surface 1 and a ASUS RT tablets both still use perfect for everyday use.
Windows RT is easy to use, and well-suited for this form factor as well as for designs of productivity.
The Verge: Microsoft's Surface just had a very healthy quarter, bringing the company $1.1 billion in revenue. While we don't actually know how many units that is, Microsoft says that most of them were its newest model, the Surface Pro 3, which outsold its predecessor, the Surface 2, three to one. So it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that Microsoft is shifting its focus to the newer version instead. Today the company said it plans to stop making the Surface 2 in favor of focusing on the Surface Pro 3.
