Lol what was this video? Yes, desktop is made specifically for mouse with some touch optimization. Metro apps are for touch, why is he trying to make this like its a negative? Its the point!
I just came here to post this!
Why did he spend the entire time in desktop mode? Is he assuming that we’ve all seen the tiled interface? Is he thinking that we’re more interesting in watching him fumble around in an interface not meant for touch interaction? Does he just want to give the impression the Microsoft is producing yet another crappy product and that we should all buy iPads, which is (of course) perfect? Is The Verge sinking into Walt Mossberg-style Apple fanboyism? You make the call.
oh my gosh this guy is so stupid Microsoft made the desktop version for keyboard and mouse because everybody was angry that it was going to all be for touch, and he didn’t spend any time in the start screen, and he didn’t open up any of the apps that are meant for touch.
Why did you focus so much on the desktop?
This isn’t Windows RT. Windows RT has absolutely no ‘desktop’ in it. The main difference between Windows 8 Pro and Windows RT is that Windows 8 Pro has the desktop included and Windows RT does not.
Windows RT does include desktop mode. The key difference between Windows RT and Windows 8 is that Windows RT will not work with software designed for windows 7 or any os before that. RT is limited to using only apps from the microsoft app store. Windows 8 has backwards compatibility so it will work with existing apps for windows 7 , vista, cp, etc.
Ross said at the very end you will need a keyboard and your going to have to find a mouse. Hmmmmmm, now what is the technology I’ve heard once before in my life.…..type cover or is it touch cover, or both? I can’t put my finger on it.
The guy reviewing this tablet is a moron.
The guy reviewing this tablet really doesn’t know much about Windows RT or office for Windows RT, really really bad video.
it should be better on the pro version since its suppose to have an ivy bridge chip-set and 4 gigs of ram
this guy shouldn’t be allowed what he doesn’t know about.
another biased review from the verge, pathetic, like your founders
This gives a terrible impression of RT and the whole of Windows on tablets. I cant help shake the feeling the previewer is doing this on purpose. first of all he ignore features that would enhance the touch experience in desktop mode. But more importantly only showing off the desktop-mode is like only showing DOS-mode in WIndows 95!
cuz its windows. not android
That’s ridiculous. I know own a Surface RT, and guess how much time I spend on the desktop. I haven’t opened it in more than 3 weeks. Just because it’s Windows doesn’t mean he has to ignore what’s actually useful on a touch screen.
How do I enable tablet mode?
well you should have bought ipad or android than. cuz rt is better than others if only youre using desktop.
You don’t make sense. I don’t use the desktop, and the Metro interface is far superior to iPad or Android’s tablet interfaces. I used an Android 4.0 tablet for 8 months before getting my Surface RT. I don’t miss it at all.
It seems like he’s searching for the bad things on purpose. Windows RT is a great system, already try it out. Well done again iVerge.
