MIcrosoft succeeded in giving PC users another high quality tablet path.

Enterprise users can use Windows apps the rely on for work and still enjoy a tablet experience.

If they nail the keyboard/touchpad feel then this solves the need to buy a laptop and a tablet.

So you think all enterprise users will be content to having 10" "laptops"? Most of them will still need large screen laptops, so they could get cheaper non-ultrabook laptop instead (and probably more powerful, too - ultrabooks are pretty weak) and then buy an iPad or an Android tablet for a $1000-$1200 total price, which is probably what the Surface Pro 10" tablet will cost.
Not all but certainly any Windows user who is considering a tablet.

Many laptop users dock them at work for use with a monitor, keyboard and mouse.

People who travel a lot may find good use also. Work and play in one package.

if ubuntu/unity works flawlessly on this thing I'm in. I already have a MacBook Air and an Android tablet - this device with Unity on it seems like a merging of the two to me.
