Microsoft Surface - who's buying one?

[NSR500]

In my previous career I worked on very early MS Surface technology I was not impressed then and would probably skip the MS Surface products.

I'm glad to live in a completely Microsoft free household!

Thinking of getting one myself, I had an iPad but gave it to my father because it won't play Flash content.

I won't be buying one. EVERY piece of Microsoft hardware was always marketed as the "next thing" when it came out, only to be ditched by them 6 months later. WinCe and its mutations is an excellent example. If you buy a Microsoft device, expect to enjoy it for 6 months or so and never expect major vendors to support it.

Perfectly happy with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.

it won't play Flash content.

you should thank them. There are few good uses of flash. Pandora is one.

Nah. Shades of Zune, aka The iPod Killer (tm).

I do feel sorry for this por guy though!
