While Microsoft continues to deny its defeat by constantly publishing ads praising its new tablet and its also new operating system, it seems that luck is not on its side. One question is who makes its luck? One possible answer is probably the same.
In recent days we have seen at least two new commercials from Microsoft that compare the Surface to the iPad and iOS to Windows RT. But today Asus to put things in their place..

The blow was strong. Asus officially announced, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, that it would stop making products using the ARM operating system. In October 2012, the company introduced the VivoTab RT, as the first device with Windows RT. But today, after a year, the company very elegantly stated that due to lack of compatibility with older Windows applications, sales were very poor.
And if that wasn't enough, if Microsoft didn't get the "elegant" message, Asus CEO Jerry Shen added: "It's not just our opinion, the industry's feeling is that Windows RT hasn't been successful."
Microsoft, of course, has not responded yet and is not expected to respond. It is probably preparing its next commercial that will change the public's perception and make them run like hysterics to buy its amazing tablet.
