Yeah, I thought maybe you could hinge the cover from the top so that it could flip the other way and rest on the back of the stand, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Having the surface rest on the keyboard/cover seems wrong too - the surface won't be as stable as it won't rest on a solid surface, and may be more upright.
I'm also curious about the heat vents on the Pro version. I like the concept of a vent that goes around the entire tablet perimeter so you can't block them by holding the tablet, but MS also claimed in the keynote that you wouldn't feel the dissipation of heat from the vents. Is an IvyBridge core i5 able to run on passive cooling alone, or are they directing airflow based on the tablet's orientation, or some other magic?
