MS Surface: breathtaking or boring?

I do not know Emil Protalinski, of ars fame. Outside of one danceclub scuffle in Philly, we don’t know each other; and that may or may not have been him. But I couldn’t disagree more with his take on how Microsoft is getting it right with Surface.I don’t think you can argue that the Surface is a very cool product/project. Is it the future of computing? Darned if I know. But what I do know (along with the fact that you should never, ever start a sentence with but) is in typical Microsoft fashion well become interested and time will suck the excitement right out of us like a pool vacuum. It happens all the time and is happening right now. Bill, please tell us more about Windows 7 as I bunker down here keeping XP going, praying I won’t have to move to Vista… Check the numbers man, customers are jumping ship to Macs, who four years ago we were all making fun of.
