Before you get too excited about Microsoft getting into the hardware biz, remember the original XBox 360 failure rate. #surface #RROD
From Wikipedia: "Since its release on November 22, 2005, many articles have appeared in the media portraying the Xbox 360's failure rates,[2][3][4] with the latest estimate by warranty provider SquareTrade to be 23.7% nearly three years ago,[5] and currently the highest estimate being 54.2% by a Game Informer survey.[6]" - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
Actually, I think that the Surface will do pretty well. Basically by eating what's left of the netbook/ultrabook market. Assuming it has decent battery life and is priced reasonably (sub $1k). There are a lot of Windows laptop users out there who won't buy an iPad or a Macbook Air under any circumstances. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
