I have a Surface RT and had an Acer W700. The Atom on the Acer is 32 bits only and supports 2Gb of RAM. While it's possible to install VS2k12+WP7 dev tools, developing on that setup is practically impossible. Outlook is borderline viable if you disable a bunch of addons.

Battery life is definitely *not* the same. Maybe with Haswell it will improve, but for now ARM holds that crown easily.

Unless you absolutely need to run some Win32 app that has no Metro equivalent, there's no contest on the overall usefulness of a ARM/RT tablet vs a Win8/Atom one.

That said, Surface RT + Type cover >> Surface RT + Touch cover Smiley

But that's not what's happening here, right?

Valid patents, that Android manufacturers recognized and licensed. It's a perfectly fine business, especially since it's not like Microsoft is sitting on these patents without producing anything similar... I can't see where the "trolling" is, in this cases.

For an example on how NOT to do licensing, look up Motorola.

According to that graph, there should be an "atmospheric mirror" at a very specific altitude that bounces back "heat".

That's not what's happening. The infrared radiation is scattered and deflected IN ALL DIRECTIONS by CO2 molecules. If there were less CO2 molecules, less heat would be deflected back to the surface, and more heat would escape the gravity well.

Again, I'm over-simplifying, but please, for the love of $DEITY, do not take these graphs as a realistic depiction of what's going on. It's for illustration purposes only.
