You know the major awesome about them?
Most the world uses their systems and enough programs that school papers and business papers and presentations MUST use MS.
That alone makes me want to see more of what they did here....it may be handy and cheap for work or school use.

Sandy : yes, but that was not innovation, just good (or cunning) business practice. (some say stealing) Tablets and mobile computing is not so easy a copy cat like software ...
Just look at microsoft performance other than windows and office ... They tried everything from databases to games ... Any success ?

I'm not excited, but it might be a better business platform than the iPad. I kind of miss my Motion 1700 tablet (windows based), except it was so damn heavy....

Don't hold your breath. I suspect they will be about as successful as they have been with phones.
