Today, Microsoft will begin selling its Surface tablet running Windows RT.
Steve Ballmer told the British press that, frankly, you have to admit the presence of Microsoft's intentions to issue new hardware solutions. They will appear on the market segments where Microsoft finds it possible to set new standards. Microsoft promise to release in January next year, the Surface tablet version with operating system Windows 8.
Many experts believe that Microsoft may release its own smartphone, if the partners ( in the face of Nokia ) will not justify assigned to Windows Phone hopes. Ballmer hinted that in the implementation of their own plans, Microsoft will do whatever is necessary to develop a software platform, and in the development of hardware solutions, as well as innovation in the cloud services.
