get laptop if you want portability

you might not need it, but it simplifies the life of us geologists/hydrogeologists

tablet is easier to use out in the field

then get a tablet and use it. why are we then syncing to another computer?

simplicity, also the cloud ensures no loss in data should something happen in the field which is quite probable

one thing i like about 8 is it's integration with skydrive

lol... your faith in the cloud is misguided

just because its saved on a server doesn't make it safe

regardless, better than nothing

there are plenty of ways to achieve this that are superior to a half completed tablet ui from microsoft

and your pessimism isn't one of them :3

You underestimate Kath's pessimism. It could power the entire west coast for the next 300million years

And by West Coast I mean every west coast everywhere on earth

just kind of pathetic how everyone looks down on Microsoft when they are doing a great job, look at what they have achieved with win8. just because it isn't exactly as you want it doesn't mean you can ****on their heads permanently

think you can do better? do it

my beef is that they are going on a tangent that the general business community doesn't want

Win8 Fails, Win7 rules.... Xbox 1 Fails, Xbox360 Rules

if they are not going to supply what is wanted, they will lose market share as competitors will fill the gaps

the general business community isn't where the cash is at currently

Microsoft has no idea where the cash is at currently

I realise this but ignoring them is not a sustainable business model

Xbox1, giant tv box, nobody pays for cable in the usa anymore, they watch it online for free...

Also, tv features don't work in other countries... massive fail

We pay for DISH network at my house but it's pretty cheap

add in no used games and "almost" always online, and you get the Failbox 1

PS4 wont be much better
