I liked how Samsung is blaming Microsoft for the failure of Windows 8 devices when the devices that Samsung released were defective.

Two of the most anticipated Windows 8 devices were the Samsung convertible tablets. Both of them were almost impossible to find at launch, and when people did manage to get a hold of them, they featured a $150 keyboard dock that simply doesn't work, and stylus drivers that lacked pressure sensitivity in the applications where it is most needed. (Photoshop, Painter, and Sketchbook Pro)

While it's important to note that Samsung has offered to replace many of the keyboards, for most people the replacements won't work either, because the design actually is defective.

They've probably crunched the numbers and realized it's not in their best interests to actually build good Windows and Windows Phone devices. They have a great thing going with Android, an OS that they can bend to their will. Windows? Not so much.

What, so it is in their best interest to release crappy devices? I (excitedly) bought a Windows 8 Samsung tablet last year as soon as I could find somewhere that actually had one in stock. It was really terrible. Horrible, unusable hardware and software problems. Bad pixels, sound that cut in and out, scary overheating, constant crashes, etc.

I could understand them wanting to focus on Android, but if that's their plan, they should stop releasing crappy Windows tablets.
