Microsoft's new Windows 8 Tablet: "Welcome to Microsoft Surface."

  • The jpg artifacts in the rendering look really awful. With Microsoft betting so much on a device like this, why can't they take a second to get something small like that right?

  • Wow, look at the Microsoft “logo” in the bottom right. Is that their new wordmark? Microsoft.com is still using the gashed-O wordmark.

  • No coffeetable any more? It was a pretty weird idea, but with interesting concepts.

  • The secret sauce is in the case. Touch + a trackpad is necessary to use both metro and the traditional desktop UI. Could be a good compromise so I can keep using legacy desktop apps until all the new metro apps are ready.

  • Ah, look, rounded corners. Almost indistinguishable from my Galaxy Tab. I wonder if Apple will sue them for design patent violation too.

  • Microsoft are trying so hard to be Apple, and failing so badly.

    I don't know much about the Surface, but this preview website is an abomination...

  • Meh!
