People are more excited for Surface Pro, so it should be getting better. And isn't surface only sold in MS stores?

Either way, a great first step.

Edit: Your usually anti MS.....yet refuse to comment on Sonys tablet situation :P. Veiled sarcasm I see.

I don't think the Surface Pro will change anything. It has all the problems of Windows tablets of the past ten years (size, weight, battery life, cost), except this one actually has a proper touch interface now. There's a very limited market of maybe a million people per year who want full Windows running on a powerful processor in a tablet format.

It's a niche which is perhaps worth holding onto and serving, but it's never going to set the world on fire.

I work at a company that provides IT support/consulting services to a lot of small to medium businesses. Every single one of them are chomping at the bit to get the Surface Pro. Many in the business world have been waiting for a productivity centric tablet, the Surface Pro is that and more.
