As the tablet market surges ahead, Microsoft is being left WAY behind by both the iPad and even Android tablets.  In fact, it’s not even close.  But wait… I keep hearing about the Windows 8 tablets that are suppose to be the saving grace of Microsoft in the tablet game.  And supposedly these hot new Windows 8 tablets are coming very soon (I kind stand the “coming soon” excuse”).  Anyway, while Microsoft continues to prepare (yawn… stretch… turn over…) it’s Windows 8 tablet, they are scraping the bottom of the tablet marketshare barrel at a whopping 1%.  So can someone please tell me what in the world is Microsoft’s game plan with tablets?  I’ve always been a huge fan of Microsoft (hard to tell, I know), but I’ve been nothing but disappointed and let down now for nearly 10 years.  Oh wait, XBOX is awesome – so I’ll give them that.
