So just for fun, lets review
Post #10 I said
The pricing also includes Word, Powerpoint, and Excel, which nobody else does
Not really sure how that is negative or does not jive with reality
Post #12 - A review from PC Magazine saying it was too expensive. While that's negative, it's a review from an independent publication. Were the prices they qouted wrong? I think not.
Post #21 was about the different versions of Microsoft Office
None of the Microsoft Office Home and Student Versions come with Outlook (or Access)
Taht's just a fact, it's not negative, and it is reality
Post #24 was cut and pasted from the Microsoft FAQ's about it concering the availability of Outlook. If you believe that's negative or not jiving with reality, you should take it up with them.
Post #28 was another direct quote from the Microsoft website on the device saying
You can only install printers, mice, keyboards, and other devices that are certified for Windows RT.
While that is most certainly a huge negative, it's not my preception, it's the reality as presented by Microsoft.
Post #37 says it has a $110 keyboard available as an accessory. Some people think it's OK for them to charge $110 for a $10 keyboard, others may see that as a negative. No matter which way you see it however, it is the reality, their keyboard costs $110.
Post #42 says I feel they are stupid for only making WiFi versions of it. Again not sure how that doesn't jive with reality unless I just missed where they said they were going to have a 3G / 4G version of it like almost every other tablet out there offers (certainly it's major competitors)
Post #48 is a discussion about the concept of adding a radio to it would increase the cost too much. Everything in that post is reality, and it's certainly not negative to say if they wanted to add a radio they would just increase the price (like everybody else does) to cover those costs.
Post #53 says it has an HD Video Out Port. That's actually a huge positive for it, and it is based in reality.
Post #55 says they are already sold out for pre-orders. That's just a fact, it's neither positive or negative (it's actually positive for them), and it is the reality.
Post #57 is a link to a CNET story about the different choices people have with Windows 7, RT and Windows 8. The reality is the operating system is totally different then what people are use to, and it is confusing.
Post #61, a link to a mostly positive review from PC Magazine.
Post #63 answers a question if I would buy one. I said no, I don't want to deal with the limitations of RT. That's not a negative, it's a fact. It's also reality, I see no use for buying a crippled system with excessive limitations when the full one is just a few months away if it was buying one
Post #68, the one you choose to quote, was a link to a round up of reviews by Reuters. In it I quoted headlines like
Don’t Call The New Microsoft Surface RT A Tablet, This Is A PC
and
Microsoft Surface RT: Impressive piece of engineering
Not really sure how you consider that a very negative picture of the tablet or not jiving with reality. Reviews are reviews, if you have an issue with the reviewer please contact them directly.
So please, explain to me were you believe I've painted a very negative picture of the tablet, and Show me where it does not jive with reality in most of my posts in this thread?
