I own a pair of these...love them. The interface is second to none.

Well...doesn't matter how powerful it is...it all depends on you internet connection. 10.7TF of power sounds nice, but if your internet is so crappy that you can't get it games past 900p/30FPS, what good is it??? This will be similar to PC gaming in general...a developer can make a game to target 4k/120FPS...but if your PC can't handle it, it will run at the best it can...same for this...how much can your internet handle...

Any pre-order bonuses 😂

I think it's made yo compete with iPad, not be its killer. I see it doing just that though, competing. I'll be getting one for my 9 year old daughter for sure over an iPad because it's more capable for her case use...mainly for school.

Full web, MicroSD, option to upgrade to full W10H. She can do all the tablet centric things like Netflix, Hulu, drawing and coloring apps, games, iReady. For those invested in the Windows ecosystem, it's the better option.

Windows 8/RT has its own set of exclusive games that set it apart like ilomilo, Halo: Spartan assault, Crash Course Go etc. And while it doesnt have every single app, both have great web browsers that runs more of the web than both iOS and Android...its not that big a deal.

iPad may have thousands, but Windows 8 and Surface has millions.

How so? All the games that are backward compat works just fine to me. Yes, you do see some graphical issues here and there, but overall, its nothing to complain about.

Understand that MOST people does not hook up a PC to their HDTV for entertainment playback. A HD console will still be how most people get their gaming fix in the living room. Also, PCs that is capable of playing Xbox 360 level games will start at $500...but a Xbox can be had for $199...again, most people will go with the cheaper option if it gets you the same quality.

This is great for MS because they make most of their money off royalties of game sales from 3rd parties......

I don't think you understand whats going on here. The only thing thats alike is the same website. However, ALL of the browsers are different, yet all support HTML5...this is common knowledge. The ONLY reason why both browsers failed to beat the WP7 device is due to the fact that the WP7 device uses hardware acceleration to speed up HTML5 rendering. I don't know what version of iOS you have but the iPhone 4 and the Nexus S both have HTML5 support. Also, your "early in the game&quo...

Their was a public opinion when Xbox first came out as well...your going to tell me that didnt change?

What are you talking about? All the browsers shown in this video IS compatible with HTML5. Whats impressive about IE9 in WP7 is that it also uses hardware acceleration. It is totally fair. That would be like saying its not fair to compare disk space of the Xbox and PS3 because 360 doesn't use Blu-Ray...or you cant compare the dashboard voice feature of the Xbox and PS3 because the PS3 lacks cross-game chat...you sound stupid.
