I takahia e Microsoft tētahi taahiraa nui ki te ao pūkoro inanahi, i huraina ai tētahi putanga hou o tana pūnaha matua Windows, me te tuku tirohanga tata atu ki a Surface, tōna urunga ki te mākete papaaho rongonui.
Ko te pūnaha whakahaere hou me te papahiko Windows 8 ka hokona i te Paraire he tohu i tētahi whakaeke hou mā te kamupene hangarau nui o Amerika e whai ana kia eke ki te tere o Apple me Google i waenganui i te nekehanga nui mai i ngā rorohiko rorohiko ki ngā taputapu pūkoro.
"Ka whakakotahi a Windows 8 i ngā mea pai rawa atu o te PC me te papahikohiko," te kī a te tumuaki o Microsoft, a Steve Ballmer.
"Ko tāu i kite ai, i rongo ai, me waiho kia kore e ruarua ko Windows 8 te mea e pakaru ana i te tirohanga mō te āhua o te PC… He tino pai mō te mahi me te tākaro, ā, e ora ana i roto i tō ao." I tētahi huihuinga pāpāho i New York, i kī a Microsoft ka whakarewahia a Windows 8 i te Paraire i roto i ngā reo 37 me te 140 mākete o te ao. Ka taea te tango mai i te 12:01 i te ata, i te wā ā-rohe, ā, ka hokona ki ngā toa hokohoko.
E ai ki ngā kaitātari he whai wāhitanga mā Microsoft te pūnaha Windows hou, engari kāore pea i te tino manakohia ngā huringa nui i te tīmatanga.
"He pūnaha whakahaere hou nui, māia, auaha, ā, tino rerekē te āhua o Windows 8," te kī a te kaitātari hangarau motuhake a Jeff Kagan.
"Ko te raruraru, kāore a Microsoft e tuku ana i te whai wāhi ki ngā kaiwhakamahi kia taunga mārire ki te pūnaha whakahaere hou. Engari, kei te whakarewahia e rātou tēnei i runga i te huarahi "katoa, kāore rānei." I kī a Rob Enderle o Enderle Group: "Kei te ngaro haere a Microsoft i a Google me Apple i te tere piki haere, ā, ko Windows 8 tā rātou urupare kaha rawa atu tae noa ki tēnei wā. Ki te kore rātou e mahi i tēnei, tera pea ka nui ngā huringa i roto i a Microsoft hei whakatikatika i taua ngoikore." Kei te whakarewahia hoki e Microsoft tētahi putanga e kiia nei ko Windows RT, i hangaia mō ngā papa, ā, kei te wātea kua tāutahia i mua i runga i ngā taputapu hou tae atu ki tana ake papa Surface.
"Ko Surface te whakaaturanga tino pai o Windows," te kī a Panos Panay, he mema o te tīma hua Microsoft. "Koinei tonu te mea i hangaia ai a Windows hei whakahaere." Hei whakaatu i tōna pakari, i tukuna e Panay te taputapu ki runga i te atamira, me te kī, "E 72 ngā huarahi rerekē ka taea e koe te whakataka." I whakaatuhia anō e ia ētahi waeine kua whakarerekētia hei papa reti, me ngā wira e piri ana, e whakamahia ana e tētahi mema o te tīma.
I kī a Michael Gartenberg o te kamupene rangahau Gartner, ko Surface "he momo taputapu hou, ā, he mea e tika ana mō te tini o ngā kaihoko." Ko Surface, e whai ana ki te wero i ngā iPad a Apple e whakahaere ana i te mākete me ngā hoa whakataetae i hangaia i runga i te pūmanawa Android a Google, ka uru ki roto i ngā taputapu Windows e hokona ana i ngā toa "pakū-ake" a Microsoft ka tuwhera i te Paraire i te United States me Canada.
I puta mai te rongo i ngā rā e rua i muri i te whakaurunga mai o te iPad mini a Apple hei whakakore i ngā tuku iti ake te utu a ngā hoa whakataetae a Amazon, Google me Samsung.
Ko te Surface — he tauira hou kua tae mai ki te mākete — he mata 10.6-inihi (26.9 henimita) tōna, ā, ko te utu tīmatanga he $499, he whakataetae ki ngā iPad whakatakotoranga nui ake.
Engari te āhua nei ko Surface he ranunga i waenga i te papahiko me te rorohiko, he "tūnga whana" hurihuri kei muri hei tautoko i a ia pērā i te anga pikitia, me te uhi hoki, ina whakatuwheratia, ka mahi hei papapātuhi hei huri ki te aratau "papamahi" mō ngā mahi.
Ka whakarewahia i roto i te mākete kapi tonu mō ngā papahiko mai i a Apple, Google, Amazon me ētahi atu, i waenganui i ngā matapae ka nui ake ngā hokonga papahiko o te ao i ērā o ngā rorohiko rorohiko i roto i ētahi tau torutoru.
E ai ki ētahi kaitātari mā te pūnaha Windows RT e whakamahia ana i runga i te Surface me ētahi atu pūrere ka tukuna he whai wāhitanga ki a Microsoft mō tētahi tīmatanga hou ki te whakahaere i ngā taputapu me ngā pūmanawa i roto i te pūrere kotahi.
"Ko te pūnaha pūkoro hou te mea pai rawa atu a Microsoft ki a Apple me Google," te kī a Roger Kay i Endpoint Technologies Associates. "Ko WinRT te huarahi e anga whakamua ana ngā mea." Ko Windows, te putanga tuatahi i whakarewahia i te tekau tau atu i 1990, kei te noho tonu hei tūāpapa PC matua me te 90 ōrau o te mākete o te ao. Engari i te ao pūkoro, kei te raru ia ki a iOS a Apple me te pūnaha Android a Google.
E ai ki te pūrongo a Microsoft, kua nui ake te hokonga o Windows 8 i mua i te hokonga atu i ērā o mua mā te 40 ōrau.
Hei te wiki e tū mai nei, ka whakaratohia e te kamupene kei Redmond, Washington, ngā taipitopito mō tana pūnaha whakahaere hou Windows Phone 8 i hangaia hei whakatairanga i tana whakaurunga ki te mākete waea atamai.
