Looks promising but I still think it's only the hardcore fans getting one, and that Microsoft has no future in the tablet market.

I hope the next Xbox gets these kind of lines.

Why? I'd love to hear a rational explanation for that rather than it being based on some biased viewpoint. Every logical thought process says they do have a future.

First, because it's always very hard to enter into a competitive market with already established players. The pad market is already bloated.

Second, because Apple is extremely popular and is dominating the premium segment. Apple is something we've seldom witnessed in history, a brand and a product that almost everyone wants, which therefore makes the market extremely difficult for other players by default.

Third because Microsoft seldom are able to compete with price. There's always an Acer, Samsung or HTC who is able to sell similar products for cheaper to the customer with a small budget.

Four, because people are already satisfied with Apple OS and Android. While a good OS, the Metro system is redundant.

Five, because MS has a very bad reputation. It's not perceived as cool to have a product with MS in it. Most consumers are afraid they will be seen as nerds if they show a MS product to their friends.

LOL REALLY ?? REALLY ? HAHAHAHAHA

Because in the U.S the kids are cool for having a Xbox 360 !

SO why does everyone uses Windows ?? EVERYONE IS NERD !!!!!

The hardware is pretty damn cool. The kickstand, 10.6" screen, case and the operating system is pretty neat as well. The specs are really the only problem and as we've seen from Apple that is easily corrected. Why wouldn't people line up to get their hands on it?

What people really want is the Pro however. Who wouldn't want to pay only a few hundred more than the iPad 4 64GB for something which has twice the space, 3-6 times the processing power and USB expandability along with all the legacy apps and a pretty damn good 1080P screen? There are a lot of people itching for a good Windows tablet who want more than what you get with a basic tablet appliance.

Tease.
