However, it doesn't surpass Android or iOS in those areas (usability, media use, handling multiple tasks) and lacks the dominant presence, so no company feels motivated to treat it as a strong option.

Most people in the market are average consumers, and they're not very smart. You'd be making a mistake if you thought they'd do proper research.

It seems the split-screen setup I’ve noticed only on Touchwiz works better. Media use... everyone streams Netflix, which means it’s device-specific and screen-related. Having a small tab with a keyboard that clicks magnetically is handy—it avoids the hassle of other typing methods or a stand. In my view, it outperforms other tabs available.

Instead of a fool, someone should be more careful. It’s not my responsibility if they skip research.

Alternatively, I drifted away from the subject, discussing surface hardware instead of RT itself.

I still don't grasp the reasoning behind choosing RT over an x86 Atom tablet that can run Win32 applications on top of WinRT. Even if I had to pick between Windows RT and Windows 8.1 on an Intel Atom at the same cost, I’d choose Windows 8.1 on Atom for extra features. Both might seem similar in the long run, but I can still run most apps that use Win32. If I truly need an ARM device, I’d opt for Android simply because of app support. So, I’m okay with the slow decline of the OS.

Surface stands out because its hardware is top-notch, and having RT is a minor drawback at best. It performs well for everyday use and is excellent for school projects. A Pro version exists but is significantly more expensive.

I've also never encountered this level of negativity, completely overlooking the strong aspects of the OS.

Just saying: -Multitasking: awesome, just great with the split screen - Media consumption: Great too with that screen and the speakers - Productivity: amazing, straight out beats the iPad and Nexus 7's - Apps: not much, horrible, but they have the essential and mainstream apps, everything else is available via Web browser Some people don't have the slightest idea of what defines 'a good OS' Yes, it can't run legacy apps, but so can't Android and IOS. Why does RT suffer this as a disadvantage and the other 2 don't? Productivity has the surface up there now the top. Battery life is excellent. Some people blindly jump on the hate bandwagon. The only argument I see is : No apps That's it, That is the only disadvantage? I would take it any day So yeah, you can hate all day but at then of the day it obliterates IOS and Android in some aspects. Bash more.

We're discussing Surface 2 and RT hardware or the operating system itself. It seems like you're weighing pros and cons. If you're open to a fresh perspective, why stick with this "green" approach when alternatives exist? Right now, my setup is fully Microsoft—Windows 8.1 Desktop, Laptop, Phone, and Surface Pro 3. I'm content with what works for me, especially since I haven't encountered any issues with RT devices. My experience is based on personal use, and I'm leaning toward Android tablets or Windows 8.1 Atom tablets instead. I don't dismiss the strengths of RT, but I'm more focused on stability and compatibility with existing systems.
