I want it too, which I do believe is the first time for a MS product. The thing is, everything they do someone else does better given a little time. By the time I'm confident that the hardware isn't going to crap out after a year and that software support will be there, there WILL be a serious competitor and it might even be a second generation iPad. MS practically can't win on this one (which is good for the market AND the consumer), but it'll be an interesting development to watch unfold if they do.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
