  4. Re:Microsoft can't win on CNN Anchors Caught On Camera Using Microsoft Surface As an iPad Stand · · Score: 1

    The RT devices had no killer app. Each device needs something to set it apart. The killer app they tried to sell was a crippled version of Microsoft Office, which didn't work though the tile interface. Still too desktop oriented for a touch oriented device. Then they came out with Office for iPad, which is fully configured for touch. Why don't they port that to Windows RT? They may be able to get somewhere.
