    so if they are releasing a tablet, why are they KILLING desktop/laptop users with forcing upon windows 8 upon us? Just keep it separate. Non touchscreen users don't want windows 8.

    That is awesome !

    When we were at Gizmondo we played around a bit with a projected keyboard, but it was never quite stable enough.

    I like the look of it so far (at least the Pro version), would be interested to see the price and battery life.

    The Kickstand/ keyboard cover thing is nice, but not that big a deal IMO. 3rd parties have made accessories like that for phones and tablets for a while.

    Digital ink integration is much cooler IMO.

    I'm actually pretty impressed with this thing so far. Worth keeping an eye on.

    I mean, it looks very nice, clean and professional. I think if they can bridge the work/personal gap that is a big bridge, because I am now one of many who is MS at work, Apple at home.

    But still, it appears to be an ipad, with an integrated kickstand, a typing cover, and digital ink. All very nice. Looks cool. But for all the hate Apple gets at not being revolutionary with their releases, this isn't that revolutionary either, right?

    Same here. Looks pretty neat but need to see a demo of someone actually using that.

    I would say the Touch Cover is. Outside of that it seems to be very well thought out, high class build quality, great hardware and software. Digital Ink will be pretty awesome.
