kudos to microsoft for apparently sacking up and attempting to take back control of hardware from janky fuckstick shops like asus and acer etc, but seriously this is a bad product on a number of levels and they kind of botched it a bit by announcing it with nothing on sale within the next fortnight. By the time this comes out, it will look extremely dated. and bad.

and that's without mentioning the fact that it failed on stage and they had to swap to a backup unit.

I don't know how many of you have used a ipad with a keyboard and reaching 'forward' to use the touch controls, but it is awkward as fuck and the fact that microsoft actually expect people to use it in this manner (yes, i know it has a mouse) shows exactly how much thought they've put into it. The phrase "months of prototyping!!" also is a good indicator.
