WOW, tonight announcement from Microsoft was totally unexpected. I was watching the kid’s swim in the pool while patiently waiting for the Microsoft announcement to start.

I was expecting the usual boring stuff, ya know. But to my surprise Microsoft did something they had not done in ages… get me exited. The last time I remembered being exited about something Microsoft was the launch of the original XBOX 360… that is a long time ago… like ten years ago.

Tonight I had a similar feeling, like I got to get this thing even if I don’t need it. This think is simply really cool. I like the kickstand concept, and coupled with the cover that also play as a full fledge keyboard it is brilliant!

I mean, this is the kind of stuff that Apple does. Actually I was thinking that Apple should have taught of it 1st… but Microsoft did! I tip my hat to them.

Anyway, I will probably try to buy one when it come out later in the fall!

Good job Microsoft! I am starting to think that it is no longer a race between Apple and… hummm, yeah, Android… NOT! I think that Apple will finally have some good competition with the Microsoft Surface, and this is a good thing! Android? dead!
