I seriously got excited when i saw the amount of effort Microsoft has put in for Surface. Like any other company a complete upgrade should include everything that comes under brand standard. Happy to see that Microsoft has done a pretty good job. I was a iPhone user then iPad, then switched to Galaxy S , Galaxy S ii and as a tablet I bought a motorolla Xoom.So from Apple I switched to Google about 2.5 years ago . The problem is, I got sick of Apple and Android after few months. For Apple, (being an enterprise professional) I could not do any of my work stuff. But, thanks to Apple for bringing in such awesome innovation which changed the industry. The problem with Android is, it always felt like a very bulky OS and with lots and lots of security hole.I have used Froyo, GIngerbread , Icecream sandwitch and Jelly bean for little bit. Yes, they have improved but I don't see why this bulky os (just look at what this os needs hardware wise quadcore ? come on give me a break. We can run servers on dual core) should get any enterprise love. I personally think it's probably good only for personal usage.The motorolla Xoom was horriable. The problem with tablet was, most of the apps were built for smaller screens.Liked the idea of widgets but as I said, I liked the idea not the widgets.Oh.. just quickly, I will have to mention XDA-developer, These guys are pretty good. If you are an Android user you should know them.

So, I donated my Xoom and Galaxy S II to my brother (year 10) and iPad for my 4 year old son. I thought they are more suitable for that age group. Light browsing, Youtube, Facebook and games that all I could find on those three devices. By then I went back to my HP 2950p with SSD with 6GB Ram with 3ghz i7 and installed windows 8 consumer preview and then Release preview. I have to admit that Windows 8 OS (let's not waste time on taking about the Metro-tiled UI, i found it useful sometimes) is the smoothest OS I've seen in last 4-5 years where I can actually do my proper work. This is exactly why I got so excited when I saw Surface will have a pro version and it really felt like I found my loved one back . I wanted a portable device which would be lighter than my Laptop but I would be able to get some work done in a fly plus, it will have to look cool. Surface pro is the answer. Thank you Microsoft +Windows+ Surface team for putting up the hard work. I don't mind Microsoft update patches because I'm used to it. Also, they showed Apple and Google what and how and guess what? they are realising updates in every three months too. I beleive that nothing is perfect in this world and when it comes to an OS there are always so many things invoved that can always be optimized. So patching is the only option to push it on right?
