Microsoft Surface is all style and no substance at all

Considering the price it does sound like they're targeting the business sector more than the consumer market that the iPad currently reigns over. My guess is they hope that it'll eventually improve the uptake of consumer Windows based tablets due to app comparability. I'm not sure how well this will work for them, especially with Google and Android offering further competition.

What price?

And another question. Does Apple really make their own CPUs?

The A5X is their design. Based upon the ARM Cortex A9 like virtually every SoC out there today. The Nvidia Tegra 3 for instance, is another SoC based upon the A9. So saying Apple doesn't make their own SoC for the iPad is the same as saying Nvidia doesn't make the Tegra line of SoCs.

If you're asking do they own the factories that produce the chips, you should already know that's not how any tech companies work in practice. Samsung is one of the few exceptions that come to mind.
