Скачать или смотреть Microsoft Surface Tablet: The Next Big Player in the Tech World?

Maybe only if the gamers are into it. Rumors about Microsoft's big announcement this week were focused on a new computing gadget from the company that could work hand in hand with the Xbox 360. Some speculated Microsoft would also shed further light on a $300 million deal with Barnes and Noble, which could see an e-reader running Windows 8 and other features friendly to the publishing world. But several outlets, including USA Today and others, have reported that the partnership won't be part of Microsoft's big announcement.
For gamers, the biggest news would be a tablet with the guts and the connectivity to power real gaming—and streaming—from Xbox. That would require some powerful hardware, but it's not at all out of the question for the company. And beyond gaming, an increasing number of content partners with Xbox in recent months suggest that it might have an even bigger plan for world domination...a total replacement for your cable television providers.
