HP's PC boss: Microsoft's Windows RT Surface tablet is "slow," "kludgy," and "expensive"

Microsoft partners have had less-than-kind things to say about the RT Surface tablet. And now HP PC honcho Todd Bradley has weighed in with the harshest criticism yet. He calls the tablet "slow," "kludgey" and "expensive."

Bradly, interviewed by CITEworld, said "I'd hardly call Surface competition." He cites these reason:

"One, very limited distribution. It tends to be slow and a little kludgey as you use it...It's expensive. Holistically, the press has made a bigger deal out of Surface than what the world has chosen to believe."

Bradley clearly views the Surface as overpriced, and isn't convinced that Windows RT or Windows 8 tablets will be a must-have for consumers. He told CITEWorld:

"It's a question of pricing, how do you get a broad set of touch products with prices that are relevant? Microsoft has clearly tried to dictate to customers what they need. If you look at retail orders, what we built with touch related to Windows 8, touch is a small percentage of that. It's a price point issue, it's a go to market issue, it's an orientation issue."
