The surface shows that microsoft, rightly or wrongly, have a different idea about where the whole mobile / desktop vision may converge. it's not a desktop, laptop nor a tablet and, for all the shit it gets, quite refreshing and innovative. metro UI also works very well on it, as it does with touchscreen laptops

Personally I bought a surface just because i wanted to be able to play old games on it, but turns out now i use it as: A standalone desktop replacement with a blutooth keyboard/mouse combo (seperate keyboard on a mobile device is heaven). Replacement for note taking with the wacom digitizer. An on the move gaming console for even modern games (blutooth game controller + steam) A picture frame on the coffee table that tracks all messenging applications (only need to look to the side, not go for the cellphone everytime something updates)
