For Microsoft Surface, Modest Sales Are Good Enough

12/8/2012
The software giant is finding that modest sales are the sweet spot for Surface hardware, but is it a winning business model? It could be. Surface doesn't have to be as big a hit as the iPad for Windows 8, and therefore Microsoft, to win big. More than Surface itself, Microsoft needs to get Windows 8 and the app model working, and for that the success of Lenovo, Dell, HP and other OEMs is also good for Microsoft.

Microsoft Surface: Keyboard Is Key

11/11/2012
The Surface succeeds where the iPad fails in one important area: Document production. The optional keyboard for the Surface has a touchpad for doing practical work, whereas the iPad is limited to Bluetooth keyboards that make you reach out and touch the screen too much. Too bad the Surface costs so much.

IT Can Support BYOD Or Be Replaced

6/5/2012
Fair or not, it's no longer enough for IT to make sure everything runs properly and securely. Spoiled by the iPad, workers want new technology now, and if IT doesn't respond quickly enough, it just might find itself squeezed out by a paradigm shift.

12/14/2011
The team at BYTE had the unique challenge of finding the top business-worthy consumer tech gifts for the holidays. There are lots of top 10 lists out there, but our challenge was finding cool consumer stuff that will also work well in the enterprise. Of course, many consumer products can be brought into the enterprise--that's the raison d'etre for BYTE--but there aren't a lot of them that also make great gifts. We skipped the obvious--the iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire--because we bet whoever wants t
