This is not Microsoft’s first foray into tablets. At least one other predeated Apple. It will be amusing to see what happens now that the hardware has caught up. The proposed Microsoft version has the processing power to run circles around the others. That doesn’t mean they will implement it well, but it will push the envelope again.

Everything cited is thereby tainted.

The Great Copier....that would be Xerox, the true innovators of home computers. Apple would know all about their designs.
