Microsoft CEO Satia Nadra Satya Nadella and Executive Vice President Elop (Stephen Elop) said the difference between the product and the competitor was not big enough and could be difficult to achieve, according to people familiar with the matter. Microsoft engineers have been developing the device before, the original plan was released yesterday in New York, people familiar with the matter said. However, the company eventually did not release the device, only the introduction of the Intel processor and the 12-inch display of the surface Pro3 Tablet PC. But Pannos Pannay Panos Panay, head of the 2113.html surface department, said the company was still developing smaller surface but declined to provide detailed information. According to IDC, a market-research firm, Microsoft Surface only 1.3% per cent of the global tablet market in the first quarter of this year, while smaller devices accounted for about 53% of global shipments in the quarter. A Qualcomm spokeswoman declined to comment. Asked if a high-pass processor would be used, Pannay responded that the company had never announced the plan, but they were doing a lot of things. "The Windows system developed for ARM remains an important element of Windows strategy," Microsoft said in an e-mail statement. The company also did not have a clear response, whether in the future will also develop products based on ARM architecture. (Ding Macro)
