Umm Popular Mechanics give Windows 8 and the Surface an award?
Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Awards
So this is interesting.
Popular Mechanics, the popular technology periodical/magazine/website has given Microsoft a huge award. This for products that haven’t even been released.
They gave Windows 8 and the Surface Tablet a Top 10 Tech Breakthrough award. Good work from Microsoft PR/Marketing…
Here’s the description from their site…
Microsoft Surface + Windows 8
The most radical redesign of Windows since 1995, Windows 8 erases the distinction between tablets and full-fledged PCs. The new operating system embraces touchscreen gesture control while retaining mouse and keyboard inputs. The default presentation looks like a mobile interface: Tiles displaying snippets of information replace icons, and the static desktop becomes a moving flow of websites and apps. (Users can access a traditional desktop if they prefer.) This reinvention of the OS is a platform for a reinvention of the PC as well. Microsoft’s new Surface series of tablets have keyboards built into their protective covers, and the Pro model offers the full versatility of a laptop.
