    As expected, Microsoft has launched the latest game changing device of 2010... to ship in late 2012.

    It takes some serious skill to turn being two years late to the market into a business model, that's about all I can say about it really, at least Samsung are capable of plagiarizing a product within a reasonably respectable time-frame.

    If it's better for playing Angry Birds, then I'll check it out.

    Well it looks like it lacks the sensitivity of an iPad so they use a stylus

    Didn't they have a problem when they introduced a new Windows system too?

    i wonder if their tablets will be loaded will all the extra junky software as all windows-based PCs... one of the reasons I'll stay Mac and never go back to a PC.
