one as well. The hints were evident in Ballmer’s Interview with CRN. The Surface Tablet is the first Microsoft product that will integrate software and hardware from their very own in-house development, much like what Apple did for years. Ballmer because pretty serious with their vision for Windows and Tablets stating that ,” “But we are not going to let any piece of this [go uncontested to Apple],Not the consumer cloud. Not hardware software innovation. We are not leaving any of that to Apple by itself. Not going to happen. Not on our watch.”
