They don't run Windows. They won't run your Windows apps. It'll only run apps from the Surface Store, same way iPads only run apps from the Apple Store.
Not hater, just trying to save you some money.
Thanks. Actually, the Surface Pro version will, and I should have been more clear in my first comment to that effect.
Yes, I understood that it was the "Pro" version that would run X86 software and should have been less succinct in my first comment.
I Don't Own An iPad or Android Device, nor am I Clairvoyant. But I think these may sell well.
I will probably buy one of these. They run Windows. They have a USB port. They will run a piece of software I want to run that will not run on IOS or Android, although it also has a version for OS-X. Apple does not sell an iPad-like device that runs OS-X.
Yeah, or not quite the exact "opposite" trolls out for lulz... Kinda funny, if so...
Ok, I know there are now less expensive data plans. But the point is the same: I just don't see the value in the data plans. If/when things are reasonably priced, I may consider it.
My wife and I both used Palm Pilots before we could get them bundled with our phone. We both had Palm phones until they broke (screens - yeah, we shoulda had cases) and Verizon insisted we could not replace them without a data plan. @#$% you, Verizon.

The photog only authorized PRIVATE use of the picture. Why don't you respect that and take it off your site?
Gee, thanks for getting him to take down a mirror of a slashdotted image. I actually wanted to see the thing.
Moron.
So, really, you mean to say that "This is not a constitutional issue. This is a contract issue." Right?
Oh, wait...
Between you, me (Flashblock myself), and 2 million iPad owners, "its 'write once, play everywhere' functionality" seems to have lost its luster...
If you click on the "Open Store" link at the top then the "Buy Now" link, you'll see a couple of versions of the Asia. You do not have to log in to do this - I didn't even create an account.
Dang. Can't believe I bit on this. Oh well. I bow to the great troll. Got me!
You're full of beans. There are antivirus products for Linux and Macs (E.g.: f-prot for Linux, McAfee for Macintosh). Unnecessary? Probably. But they exist.
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
