I would love to see tablets replacing physical books. I am an IT professional half of my rooms if filled with books and it is difficult to dispose old books. Once all these Microsoft press and other publications start selling iBooks it will be fun to read it in iPads. I think iBooks provide more description with videos and voices. Hate to use physical books

In my town, the school district is loaning out tablets that contain the text books used by the high school students. No more heavy back-packs!

For $199, it will be interesting and possibly change the "tableting" world.

But what would be more controversial/drastic is if they priced it at $299 and had a very revolutionary ecosystem.

If you don't need Win:
What is wrong about a full format of any HDD with Windows on it?

Since I have to use Win at work (which is a pain in the a...) and since some games are only there, I always have the pleasure to minimize
Windows on my HDDs with the corresponding Linux partitioners.

The RT version is up for pre order. I'm waiting for a pro version windows 8 to my collection.

Still not sure I get the surface. But a full desktop environment is on my mind. And As I understands it, not yet confirmed or denied, and you can also load your favorite Linux distribution if you wants to.

I think the world will change. The change will be that desktop and tablets,running the same os and applications. That's great devices gets more powerful.
