What don't they get? (Score 1)

In my opinion, no matter how much Microsoft puts into upgrading the hardware, it's like putting lipstick on a pig. Windows 8 is still Windows 8 (whether it's RT or not). If MS wasn't so against open source, I think the surface tablets would make them a LOT more money if they were to sell them with an Android OS, or hell anything that's not windows for that matter. And before I'm accused of being biased, I personally run an android phone, iPhone, android tablet, iPad, OS X, Windows, and various linux flavors. Every one of them has a purpose and their own strengths, and I honestly wouldn't even take a MS tablet if they were handing them out for free. Just stick to what you know and excel at, you don't see Apple trying to push a gaming console because MS does it.
