Microsoft forays into Tablet market 
Microsoft has unveiled Surface, a tablet computer to compete with Apple’s iPad.  CEO Steve Ballmer has introduced the tablet, calling it part of a “whole new family of devices”. The device comes with a kickstand to hold it upright and a touch keyboard cover that snaps on using magnets.
Steven Sinofsky, President, Windows division, Microsoft said, “The device is a “tablet that’s a great PC, PC that’s a great tablet.”
The Company has claimed that it will work on Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 8 Pro operating system. The pro version comes with a stylus that allows users to make handwritten notes on documents such as PDF files. Each tablet comes with a keyboard cover that is just 3 millimetres thick. The kickstand for both tablets was just 0.7 millimetres thick, slimmer than a credit card.
