Anyone really believe the customer’s in charge here?

They talked about the screen most of the time. Everyone knows how to swipe on a tablet. Two apps at once, that’s interesting. Show more of THAT stuff. Features, not gimmicks! Finally, the let a spectator only tap on a drink glass and as soon as he started to mess with other things they took it away. Poor example.

I don’t think “good idea” and “practical” are going to move the needle the way they were hoping. Would I turn down a Surface tablet? I’ve supported their tablet efforts, half-assed as they’ve been and these are the best of the lot by far and I’ll probably get one for work. This will be my 3rd Windows tablet, but we’ll see if they really support this properly or if they kill it with stupidity.

Touch Cover and Type Cover is a really good Idea. It is practical.

I have two of them with Windows 7. One Wacom, one touch. This is evolutionary at best. Ivy Bridge is not a requirement for smooth Photoshop.

They look stodgy. Nice build, clean lines, a lot like one of my suits. New suits aren’t going to change their fortunes. Invitees clapping and shit means nothing.

I’m talking game changer, like having a 3mm second display attachment View Cover option in addition to the Touch Cover and Type Cover. That would have been sick.

After how outstanding my Zune has been hardware-wise (5+ years of loyal service) I have complete faith in a Microsoft tablet to suit my needs.

I’d call you a fucking troll, but you appear pretty pathetic on your own right now so I won’t. Any iFan who can’t admit this is the bomb is just fooling themselves.

They could have taken the time to introduce some sick shit that would get the people fiending, but they just brought out two stodgy looking slates. Looks nice, but no drool or pucker factor.
