Why would it be? This device is the same game Microsoft has been playing for over a decade now. Full Windows in a tablet. Why would it suddenly catch on now?

What are you referring to when you talk about Microsoft going for "full Windows in a tablet" for over a decade?

But anyway, the new and "exciting" part about the Surface - and many other devices soon coming out - is not that they are tablets, but hybrid devices - devices that can function both as tablets and as laptops. Because many people see advantages in both concepts, but don't like the idea of carrying around two seperate devices.

I mean this:

Check the sweet pic of no-compromise, hybrid Windows on a tablet with removable keyboard.

There is no change in strategy here, just enough extra focus on touch interface to compromise the experience of keyboard + mouse users.
