What on the road work do you need Flash for?

I don't think a tablet will ever run photoshop in a way you could use it.

Alternatively, apple demonstrated that we are in a post PC era and there is a market for people to own a lightweight computing device for when they are away from their desktop. Sports Cars and Trucks. You sometimes need a sports car and you sometimes need a truck.

MS got confused by this, as they have been failing to sell tablets for the last 10 years and are now trying to cobble together a mobile and desktop OS and I imagine it's not gonna work out too well for them.

I'm really glad you like MS and it works for you and I hope today you get the tablet of your dreams.

I kinda think MS is a little too late to the party, and isn't bringing anything anyone really wants...

Still, interesting times...
