Start Menu not the big problem for Microsoft.

When you are designing new products, please make them compatible with each other. So I was reading how with the ouster of Microsoft executive Steven Sinofsky, Microsoft may bring back the start button to the new Microsoft Windows 8.









But the line that got me the most wast that software written for the Windows 8 doesn't work on the Surface.  The Surface uses a ARM chip and most computers have a Intel chip.  Microsoft had to make a new version of Office for the Surface and it is dumb-downed.

I was thinking of the getting the Surface but if the software is not compatible across product lines, that explains why Apple is winning the tablet market.
