I think this is a step forward for Microsoft, and besides, end-users will benefit form the Microsoft-Apple competition. They innovate and we get better devices :)

Im an Apple user, but earn my living as a system admin for windows and linux servers. I get all my work done from my hackintosh , and if nothing changes probably will not go back on using windows anytime soon. I truly hate windows, especially Vista which made me turn to Mac OS and never look back.

Despite all this I will never become so narrow minded as most apple fanboys and dismiss everything new.

I'm tired of reading/hearing: "Apple has already done this, Microsoft stoled their ideea", "Apple knows the right way to make a product", "This will never work for Microsoft", "Microsoft failed again", "OMG look at the product page, Its crap so the product must be a pile of dong too!"

Common people, what is wrong with you?

I say good job Microsoft, finaly something promising. How well it would do in the real world remains to be seen, but I think there is a huge market for this device.
