I wonder if the TSOD (Touch Screen Of Death) will also be the newest product output from Microsoft? Just a thought.

Looks like a tablet designed by someone who sees a PC in everything, the result is likely to be the worst of both. Ballmer is really killing this company. And to recycle the name for that coffee-table sized touch screen thing no one wanted from several years ago - I would have thought that name a jinx, and in any case expected something more creative than that. Bet the stock drops a buck tomorrow. [edit] just looked at the specs WTF is VaporMg? Who thinks that is a GOOD Trademark name? Sounds like a cross between VaporWare and an extinct British sports car!

except for the foldable "stand" that will break just by looking at it (over-engineered).
Magnesium alloy is pretty tuff you know, would be more likely to break if it was plastic or aluminium.

Magnesium is not particularly tough at all. You are confusing it with Titanium, which is tough. Magnesium is also quite flammable (and once started, hard to put out - water accelerates the burning). Battery fires should be a whole new experience. The only advantage magnesium has is that it is lightweight...

Windows 8 on a tablet. I'm struggling to see what the big announcement was. The whole point of Windows 8 was to create an OS that worked well on tablets and phones. Just a pity they forgot about PCs and laptops...

Microsoft breaks tradition with Microsoft Surface tablets
Microsoft isn't actually manufacturing these new tablets itself.

No I am not confusing it with titanium, I know what titanium is. Pure magnesium is pretty nasty flammable stuff. However Magnesium Alloys can be relatively strong (otherwise we wouldn't make car wheels out of them!) From wiki: The strength –to-weight ratio of the precipitation-hardened magnesium alloys is comparable with that of the strong alloys of aluminum or with the alloy steels

I watched the "Analyzing Malware with SysInternals tools" video you have on one of your news letters the other day, the presenter didn't have a lot of fun with Win8. He was all over the place trying to find his open presentations and demos.

Typical Microsoft… Claim it's new and different… it's not. Demo crashed. Over designed. Fairly ugly. Not available for months. No definite pricing.
Typical smoke and mirrors only difference after you buy it you need to smoke one.
