Was interested in this but seeing one fail is a massive turn off. :o

What turned me off is another tradition of MS:
1)Firstly not visionary to foresee/lead the new tech developments.
2)Only realise they missed the opportunity when it's already late to enter the market.
3)Use their financial/marketing powers and OS monopoly to break into the playground. Bullying small companies.
4)Once after acquired dominance or not, MS ignore the customer base, neglect the products. Wait and let it rot or make a mess.
5)Abandon the product and left user base in chaos and then repeat the circle again.

Examples:
IE, MSN (Live), Silverlight.

Work in progress:
Nokia
 
Internet Explorer - how do I say that I need to move on? You know we're headed separate ways. There's nothing I can really say. I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more. Got to be true to myself, so I'll be on my way.
 
He wasn't holding it right :p

To be fair, this guy sounded like a nervous wreck whilst he was demonstrating. That probably didn't help.

The problem is that MS doesn't want any non-IE browsers to be on Windows RT.

Yeah, I spotted that slight fail. I'm still interested by this tablet though, and hopefully it is a success :)
