It's nice to see Microsoft innovating and creating hardware (besides mice ) but I don't know yet if it will be a success. The success Apple had with the iPad determined Ms to look at "mobile" products and I think they've designed Surface for those people that believe that the iPad is not the best product to own between a phone and a notebook.

In my opinion the presence of two versions, Windows 8 and Windows RT makes it possible to run Windows 8 on High-end and Windows RT on lower-end devices, therefore making it possible for people to get an idea about the new Windows version without paying for so much.
