I actually don't dislike MS and think this tablet looks pretty cool. Much like the phone realm if I couldn't get an iPhone I'd go to a Microsoft phone before an Android.

As mentioned here the brilliance in this product is the integration with office solutions. Yes Apple and Android have office apps, but they aren't true Office, and that introduces a host of problems.

I love my iPad, but for me it's more of an entertainment device than a content creation device. I love garageband and Paper (drawing/painting app), but beyond that anything that needs creating is harder to do on a tablet. I love looking at photos, videos or books on it, but beyond that usage gets slim.

I know the price is a sticking point for many, but we've seen what a $200 tablet is like, and frankly I don't think anybody wants that.

I'll be interested to see where this goes. I thought the phone would do better then it has been doing, so I won't make any predictions.
