The jpg artifacts in the rendering look really awful. With Microsoft betting so much on a device like this, why can't they take a second to get something small like that right?
Wow, look at the Microsoft “logo” in the bottom right. Is that their new wordmark? Microsoft.com is still using the gashed-O wordmark.
I was wondering about that. It's the same at the end of the Surface video.
No coffeetable any more? It was a pretty weird idea, but with interesting concepts.
I thought the same thing. The coffee table $15K plus ~~atrocity~~ research idea has become this.
The secret sauce is in the case. Touch + a trackpad is necessary to use both metro and the traditional desktop UI. Could be a good compromise so I can keep using legacy desktop apps until all the new metro apps are ready.
Ah, look, rounded corners. Almost indistinguishable from my Galaxy Tab. I wonder if Apple will sue them for design patent violation too.
Microsoft are trying so hard to be Apple, and failing so badly.
I don't know much about the Surface, but this preview website is an abomination...
