The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Was Microsoft’s Surface A Mistake? Of Course Not”.

Mark Hachman says, “In a column for PCMag.com, well-knonw analyst Tim Bajarin argued Monday that Microsoft has “betrayed” its hardware partners with the launch of its Surface tablet, and that it should abandon its infant hardware business. It’s a strange, protectionist argument mired in the past. And it’s dead wrong.

Bajarin’s argument can be summed up like this: After watching Apple and Google control the ecosystem, Microsoft decided to do the same. But by doing so, Microsoft has alienated its partners, who will be less receptive to Microsoft in the future”.
