Friday, June 15, 2012, 9:12 AM ETMicrosoft (MSFT) will unveil plans to make its own Windows 8 tablets at a much-speculated L.A. event on Monday, sources tell The Wrap and AllThingsD. It's claimed Microsoft, like Google, has decided it needs its own no-compromise hardware to compete with Apple (AAPL), and that it could sell both ARM-based (ARMH) and Intel/AMD tablets. The move could rankle some PC OEMs, especially given reports Microsoft will charge huge license fees for Windows 8 tablets.

Because! Microsoft has no vision. They have no taste. They couldn't design themselves out of a wet paper bag. Every Windows 8 tablet will go the way of the Zune.
You are correct in Microsoft being slow to market in the phone and tablet sector but with XBOX, OS, cloud computing, office, SQL2012, Lync, Exchange and others they lead the industry thinking. Microsoft is largely undervalued as a long term investment. A change in Sr management would be a plus especially if Stenofski were to replace Ballmer. If Microsoft would rid itself of Kevin Turner and his failed Wal-Mart cancerous mentality that would be a huge plus.
not the odd Android one from planet Google!
If MSFT can makes ir right, not like Zune, but like xBox
Why not?
Everything else = good
Quite a simple formula, isn't it?
