    "I'll tell you how it's more sexier, because it is." Arggh. It's sexier, not more sexier you buffoon. Don't dilute your message into making me want to take one of those lovely new magnesium showing devices and ram it down your throat while repeatedly kicking you. Oh, and please don't use circular reasoning to try and sell this to me - that's not going to work.

      I'm not impressed, the hardware changes are good and there is improvement, but WinRT is still there... :/

        No, but saying "Look, shiny!" is a sure fire winner.

              What a very entertaining stand-up comedian ! "You're better off working and playing, doing them at the same time is call ADD. Don't do it." "I can't see the cloud, but I know it's there." Delightful. bill

                So, it's $449 for the Surface 2 - is that with, or without, the keyboard? If it's without the keyboard, then that puts it almost back at the original Surface pricing. Have they learned nothing?

                  Well that was disappointing...

                  Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                      At least Balmer smiled, if not incessantly.. Oh look! The stock price is almost back up to it's pre-launch (an hour ago) levels. :doh:
