the windows 8 version should be able to run any windows games. Might not run pretty though with out a dedicated graphics card.
Pretty compelling. Looking forward to trying it out in person. Apple has finally been beaten to the punch on this innovation front. I may go totally cross platform across devices in my house after this: workhorse computer - Macbook Pro tablet/light computer work - this phone - Android
LOL. Keep ****ing that Chicken MS. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/N1zxDa3t0fg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
by the time this comes out..the buzz will be dead and gone. why can't companies announce a product and have it for sale in a reasonable amount of time?

I know people think Apple innovates, but it really doesn't...mostly it just is a good combiner of other people's tech - apple knows how to make stuff look cool, and market to the masses, but it hardly innovates. DD
Yes, apple is basically just repackaging existing technology, that is good but it is not true innovation.

I'll believe that price tag when I see it. I was expecting $400-$600 for the 64GB Windows RT Surface. No matter the price, I'll still hold out for the Windows Surface Pro.
you can get a whole laptop for 400 bucks. My 1k 12in 3.5lbs laptop has a quad cores and gt650. I mean why would anyone pay a grand for surface, when you can get something pretty small with 4 to 5x as much power for the same price?
Honestly, price-point is the only way the Surface is going to be able to compete. iPad dominates the tablet market (due to their app store as much as anything else, now), and Android is gaining ground (due to the success of ICS and now JellyBean, plus the growing success of the Google Play store). The keyboard smartcover is nice and all, but it's only a matter of time before Apple comes up with an equivalent, and the Asus Transformer Infinity already has a dockable keyboard that also doubles battery life, with a pixel resolution that approaches Retina standards. I just don't see room for three players in this fight unless MS does something game-changing, and price-point has to be it. Especially in light of asking people to adopt a completely new OS with a completely new UI.
I agree with a lot of what you said, but you lost me on the last sentence. Has anyone ever decided not to buy a new piece of tech because the interface is completely new and fresh? I actually think it's just the opposite and that Windows 8 will be one of the big things that attracts customers to Surface. There's always room for criticism, but it's hard for anyone to deny that the new UI is stunning, especially when compared to the competition.
