I think Surface is going to flop. It's not a good enough tablet to compete with the best. It's not a good enough notebook to replace notebooks. Surface RT and Pro are totally different capabilities - how confusing is that. Microsoft weak in mobile apps. Surface Pro can run legacy Windows apps which I'm going to do to with my multi-touch UI??? To me it's a mess. And MS' track record in hardware is pretty slim.
