Typical smoke and mirrors only difference after you buy it you need to smoke one.

I wonder if the TSOD (Touch Screen Of Death) will also be the newest product output from Microsoft? Just a thought.

2 OS for the same tablet ?
OVER-ENGINEERED!!!
Watched code never compiles.

Looks like a tablet designed by someone who sees a PC in everything, the result is likely to be the worst of both. Ballmer is really killing this company. And to recycle the name for that coffee-table sized touch screen thing no one wanted from several years ago - I would have thought that name a jinx, and in any case expected something more creative than that.
Bet the stock drops a buck tomorrow.
[edit] just looked at the specs WTF is VaporMg? Who thinks that is a GOOD Trademark name? Sounds like a cross between VaporWare and an extinct British sports car! [/edit]

Windows 8 on a tablet.
I'm struggling to see what the big announcement was. The whole point of Windows 8 was to create an OS that worked well on tablets and phones.
Just a pity they forgot about PCs and laptops...

I watched the "Analyzing Malware with SysInternals tools" video you have on one of your news letters the other day, the presenter didn't have a lot of fun with Win8. He was all over the place trying to find his open presentations and demos.

Microsoft isn't actually manufacturing these new tablets itself.
|
|
|
|
|
Who does manufacture their own things now a days?

I confess I didn't read the post. I thought it was about the new product from Nathan's[^].

Yes, but what if you bought everyone a faster hand calculator?

Ouch. Quit messing with my s-l-o-w brain.

I don't think the calculator is the bottleneck here...but if you bought everyone faster hands the results might improve
|
|
|
|
|
And what if you made them use a faster hand calculator in each hand?

My only concern is CPU overload could lead to an unpleasant foot odor problem.
