A couple professors here wanted to buy 30 surface pros to use in a lab, and after demoing the Surface Pro 3 they instantly decided against it... ...and bought 30 surface pro 2's

is it possible to make a display with integrated tablet+stylus that doesn't exhibit lag? the old wacom-based tablet pcs had noticeable lag if you started drawing too fast but i assumed that was a problem with software or an underpowered CPU or something. by now you'd think this was a non-issue unless there's some fundamental limitation introduced when you cram drawing tablet hardware directly under an LCD screen in a thin plastic case

Oh yeah Surface doesn't support Microsoft Silverlight, of course it doesn't, why would it? http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...dd-ccfdb601cca1 "This is very disappointing. I'm a college football coach and the only way to play our film is through the use of Silverlight. I can't do the major part of my job using my Surface." "Very disappointed that Microsoft hasn't provided a Silverlight app or a solution for its customers when they've know about this for a while now. It shows me that Microsoft doesn't really care about their customers or their community. I think that Microsoft is on the right track with windows RT and will eventually revolutionize the tablet world, but without the confidence of its customers and community I wonder how strong or how far that revolution will go." http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/silverlight/en-US/361b1094-641f-41f5-b975-fdd698a635bf/silverlight-windows-rt?forum=silverlightgen "I have to agree that the response does not help at all. Many of the programs and installations use Silverlight. I too bought a new laptop (Lenovo) and assumed that since the operating system was Microsoft, that I would be able to use it exclusively for exam marking that is now online. The marking system uses silverlight............and so the new computer is no use for that.....I am left using one that is about five years old and does not have a clear enough screen resolution or a bog enough screen." "Also, why is there an app in the tablet's store to purchase Silverlight when it cannot be installed after purchasing?" hobbesmaster posted:also that entire paying for everyone that bought one in the first couple years to get a new one

FMguru posted:wasnt that traditional for consoles - sell at a loss for a while until volume ramps up and you can start making them cheaper, and make all the money on game royalties (classic cheap printer / expensive toner strategy)? Sony and Microsoft used to do this (both the PS3 and 360 had manufacturing costs north of $800USD at first and they were proper-losing a few hundred for every console sold), but pretty much vowed not to anymore because it cost both of them astronomically last time. Sony especially seems to have hit the sweet spot of system build/price, although it's selling gently caress-all in Japan (it's been 6 months and I think they still haven't sold the same number of PS4's as Sony did on the first day PS2's were available there)

Blackula69 posted:wait i didn't know about some of this stuff, can you explain The lack of pads means if you nudge a 360 while the disc is spinning it will scratch the gently caress out of the outer ring of the disc and make the disc unusable. You have to be careful buying used from Gamestop because a lot of 360 games are this way despite the fact that they're meant to check. The Xclamp design is how the system was designed internally which basically made it into a hotbox which would overheat and separate chips from the motherboard, resulting in the infamous rrod and at launch you could buy the 360 with no storage for i think $299 but extra storage was crazy-expensive and still is (ms is launching a 500 gig xbox 360 hard drive soon and charging $110 for it. currently you have to pay $130 for a 320 gig), with the cheap options for the bare essentials being a 128 meg flash storage (which they eventually had to offer a free exchange to a 256 meg for). because of this baseline it hamstrung the gently caress out of game capabilities, since all games were required to be fully functional without installation and had a patch limit size of 64 megs (until about a year ago) it was nice in that you could start playing a game within 30 seconds of inserting the disc but eventually ps3 games started going above and beyond what the 360 was doing and finally rockstar managed to tell ms they were being stupid and managed to push in a game install requirement for gta5

the cost of hardware was basically irrelevant when they spent a couple billion dollars on marketing, bought rare for like 350 million and paid out the rear end to publish a ton of flop exclusive games even without the ~2 billion [the 1.2 was just to cover future replacements after that point] they spent replacing consoles it's still a huge money pit and ballmer was 100% behind "investing in the future" [then throwing all of it away in 90 minutes at E3 2013]
