Ha! Yes, I would need time to adjust to Windows 8. It seems like it could be great, but I'm so used to OS X. It's a little daunting. I appreciate your thoughts, thanks for sharing!

I think for now I'm going to wait and see - The Verge seems to think SP's latest price cuts mean new models this fall. If Microsoft addresses the pain points of SP, I'll take another look. Otherwise it's MBA for me!
