What's going on at 13:40?
Certainly different, I like it on a touchscreen (tablet, phone, all in one) but not on a laptop or PC with a mouse. I used the consumer preview and it was not a great experience on my laptop.

Interesting, maybe I should have spent more time on it. I didn't like how they kept their old interface and added the new metro on top of it. Just felt strange. Also maneuvering around the tiles with a mouse felt counter intuitive.

Still would like to know what manufacturer will actually build the tablet. And, no, the answer is not "Microsoft". Microsoft does not have the production facilities, molds, employees, raw materials, etc. to actually build the components. So who will actually make the components and assemble them?

After watching this, I really can't wait to get my hands on it. It'd better come quick.
Shut up and take my money!

This is so much better and more exciting to watch than Apple's WWDC. It was worth it. Apple should should really take notes. They did a hell alot better than Apple boring confrence. I am so impressed.

Apple's Keynotes are always boring because they brag on too much about stats of the company. They can spend 45 mins talking about how well their products are selling with some screwed up stats and only half an hour on new products and features.
Samsung and Google just went straight to the point. "Here's the new product, knock yourselves out."
Microsoft did abit of bragging, but didn't waste too much time on it.

Wow this is what people wanted the ipad and android tablets to do. Certainly takes tablets to an all new level.

I guess there's no way Android is gonna break into the tablet market with only < 1m sales last year.. its gonna be even more competitive this fall with W8.

I think this tablet is sooooo legit. Took the tablet to a whole new level. This is closer to a computer than a phone, unlike the iPad which is more like a phone.

This is how Microsoft killed all those toys that were called tablets.
Simply can't wait to get my Surface!

14:00 Surface is also still being bugged out. Lol.

I guess there's some residue on the screen surface that's registering the touch .

The Surface is first of all an Android tablet killer, imo. What is the attraction to anyone in buying a laggy Android tablet that only offers games and gadgetry when the iPad does the same and more and the Surface even ups the iPad to include the whole productivity aspect? The only reason would have to be price, and even that should not be enough to make many buyers interested.
I would be quite surprised if Android tablets have more than 5% share in tablet sales within one year of launch of Win8 tablets like this one.

Kind of hard to kill an Android Tablet when they hardly own 5% of the market. The XBOX live applications may put this over the top for me.
Any Android or Windows tablet will be or is better than an IpAD.

If they want this to sell, they better market the hell out just like they did with Xbox. Amazing as this product seems, people will just think its another tablet that's not an iPad, so they'll most likely go towards the iPad. Only techies like us who visit tech blogs would know of the capabilities of this product and what sets it aside from every other product out there right now. So Market the s**t out of it ms! I want to be able to see people walking around with one instead of those stupid iPads...

YUp, Miccrosoft needs to be aggressive when marketting windows 8 & windows phone *. thats one of the successes of apple they market their product to the extreme, imho this is way better than any tablet on the market. Imagine all the power of a desktop pc squeezed into a 13.5 mm tablet, built in kickstand, case that doubles as a keyboard, usb 2.0 & 3.0 ports, can this get any better???.....
oh yes it features full version of windows 8!!!
