We're not there yet. Surface is a fantastic promise
And holds fantastic potential. But while potential is worth your attention

Abstract: Microsoft's first tablet needs to do several things. It needs to push the state of the art, to encourage OEMs to develop better hardware, and it needs to showcase Windows 8. It needs to show what can be done with ARM and with Intel processors, in the home...
