I have one and it feels like an unfinished product to me. Looking at this whole picture, I wonder whether I am living in a Hippocratic world or you guys at microsoft is doing something I am not sure Surface has enough to push the envelop just yet. They push hardware innovation and Microsoft simply sit and wait for the OEM to do something. Many disregard retina displays yet many people like to have that high pixel density and buy 'i'products even if they have to sell their houses. It is plain simple it is visually more appealing to any product in the market. You all may realize why people are after Mac Books.

Internet Explorer extensibility has gone with the wind. Products lights up and discontinued with in 2 or 3 releases like XNA, Expression studio. The developer space on different microsoft platforms are sort of fragmented. I dont really see any shift within microsoft.

I can see you guys making same mistake in the tablet space as well. the question is, are you guys aware of this change toward 'i' products ? and what are you guys doing about it ? You guys give away the mobile space and allowed two other companies to take the lead. Just take a moment and think about the shift. I wish microsoft and you guys who work for microsoft realize the significance of the post and comments. Kurt demonstrates the Visual Studio Windows Phone emulator running along side the Xcode iPhone emulator. Here, Kurt Schmucker, a product manager at Parallels, gives a brief summary of Parallels Desktop and demonstrates how to run Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012 on your Mac without rebooting to a Windows partition first. You can even run Visual Studio (and other Windows applications) directly on the Mac OS X desktop (no Windows VM window, just the app).įor cross-platform development of iOS apps, Windows Store Apps, and Windows Phone 8 apps, Parallels is unparalleled since you can work with two different operating systems and related dev tools at the same time, in the same session, from the same desktop. The Parallels window behaves like a normal Mac window, so you can copy content from your desktop and place it directly into the Parallels virtual machine instance just as you would from one Mac window to another.

For developers, this means you can simultaneously run Xcode on Mac and Visual Studio on Windows 8. Parallels Desktop for Mac is a hypervisor-based virtualization solution that makes it easy to run any number of operating systems inside separate windows on your Mac desktop.
