I'm on windows 8 right now . Not bad at all .
Also why is everyone worrying about Apps .
Its coming with Windows 8 , and its a tablet that uses Flash . I dont think I need any apps when I can actually use the tablet like a computer .

BTW I have an Ipad and an Iphone .

What will work for Microsoft is the Office Suite, and the hybrid tablet/desktop interface of the OS itself. I wouldn't say it's enough for someone to ditch an iPad.

Most people probably surf the net, watch movies, play casual games and so on. Not too much enterprising going on there.

Windows Phone and the Suface are superior technologies, but fanboys will die before they're aught dead with something without an i in front of its name. Sheep.

Even if this turns out to be 1000 times better than ipad. Apple stans won't put down their !! to try it so [pic]

128gb of storage, 5gb of ram I believe

Windows Phone & Windows 8 RT are completely re-vamped OS's and are NOTHING like Windows Mobile 6.5 and before, which I admit were sluggish and horrible.

essentially ppl are mising the point, this may be the ground work for the next xbox, it will def pla nice with desktop win 8, phone win 8 and xbox 360 when transition happens

as far as cohesion goes windows will be first

apple has apple tv, ipad and iphone but its not as thought out as win 8, win 8 will undoubtedly have bugs but i think it will eventually cack

Prices are rumors at this point, the Sufrace RT is ARM-based, meaning its purpose is to be a mobile tablet...just like the iPad, it's not meant to give a desktop experience so why would you need x86 applications? The RT surface will be used in Metro mode 95% of the time. This is why they will offer the Surface Pro as well, to do just that.

The Surface is NOT in a laptop category. The RT version is tablet that will compete with tablets. The Surface Pro will compete with Ultrabooks....NOT laptops.

Microsoft is planning to get boosted 3rd party application support by the simple fact that they've designed the Windows 8 OS so that a majority of coding can easily be ported over to Windows Phone 8 & 8 RT
