Microsoft is not thinking of attracting users on the base of specifications and mighty hardware but they want to give users the best experience with their quality software. According to us, the company will be working towards the software section now rather than on the hardware. Microsoft will be facing alot of challenges in the near future regarding the pricing of its Surface tablets and OEM's that would be developing Windows 8 Pro tablets in the coming times.
