I really hope Microsoft doesn't try to rush this thing out to compete with the iPad.

Newer processors from Intel and AMD are coming out with lower heat output compared to earlier models which should help quite a bit in lowering heat generated.

"Hot legs" are only part of the issue. The other is that many laptops have vents underneath which can become blocked when set down on a soft surface.
