I'm writing this on my iPad and I am not fond of Windows 8 but... Darn, that device is sexy! I still feel the price is not quite right, however. I understand the Surface would not be nearly as nice if MS was aiming at the bottom-end of the market, but I just can't see myself switching - and abandoning a legacy of apps! - at that price, even with the lure of a full-fledged OS. And the weight is also an issue: if it is uncomfortable to hold up and use as a proper tablet, than it's just an ultrabook with less ideal - but still sexier! - form factor. Maybe in a couple year's time, with the Surface 4?
