Agreed. Enterprise wants their employees creating content, not just consuming it. By all accounts, the Surface is way better then the iPad for that. Even the RT version.

I think the vision is there, but its going to come down to excution. Now Microsoft is great at execution, and I wish them the best of luck. Still, they have a big mountain to climb.
1. They are starting so far back in the field that they need a telescope to see Apple.
2. They were missing a lot at at their presentation. Gruber:

But no pricing, no battery life specs, no demonstrations of the seemingly extraordinarily clever cover-keyboards in action, or really much in the way of software demonstrations, period

With 90 days or so till launch, you would think that they would have a kickass MS Office demo, at least.
Now they should be able to have the core apps and MS office ready to go at launch, but this should be a matter of seeing, not believing.I'm hoping they won't follow the usual Microsoft way of not getting things right with software till version3.0. Like it or not, the expectation is now that everything has to be ready to go from Day One. The IPad launch has set that standard for our expectations.
