These will be available through the Windows Store

The Surface Pro will be priced like Ultrabooks. Availability for Windows RT is when Windows 8 launches, and Surface Pro will launch 3 months later

"This has been an unbelievable journey, and we have invested an incredible amount of time, money and talent in this project"

Steve Balmer is back on stage to wrap things up.

"Why now", says Balmer. "We took the time with Windows 8 to do something that is really different, and we're very proud of Windows 8. Because of Windows 8, the Surface is a PC, and it is also something new that people will love"

One more movie to wrap it all up.



If this turns out to be as good as the first pictures suggest, I'll get the WIndows RT 32GB version.



Now this I would actually like. Never understood the fuss about tablets.

Never been a fan, but I am actually interested in this one, so far it sounds very promising and looks sleek.

Yeah, nothing to see here if you are interested in gaming.

But maybe MS becoming a stronger competitor to Apple is a good thing.



They said that PRO will be released after 3 months and RT will be before that (with the lunch of windows 8).


When will Windows 8 be released? What the difference between RT and PRO?



something similar to a tablet/laptop?! sounds awesome!! Chunky will you provide a over view so all the druners can take part of all the info? =)
