Q/I've built an entire career on MS products including Windows products that sold over $100M/yr.

MS products have been far from awful, they've been very very good to me./Q

Ahh I see, you're an MS repairman!

Q/Seriously, I've wanted to carry my entire computing life in my pocket since I've read Arthur C. Clarke's "Imperial Earth" as a kid and we're finally getting close, so of course I'm excited!/Q

Arthur has a lot to answer for. Pity he didn't see what was really coming. Too late now.

Q/... a fair trade IMO for having a truly mobile office./Q

That would be progress? Surely you remember the good ol'days when telephones were in big red boxes, and at work?

And home was home.

Q/ ...and I'm sure the fine people at Toys 'R Us will be happy selling those toys to tots when an adult tablet finally comes to town./Q

+Chuckle+ An easy way to compare current tablets is to go to a mall and sample the connected ones on show. Within minutes you can walk round and compare the very best Samsung, Sony, Blackberry, and Apple have to offer. MS are a no-show.

It's a quick lesson in ergonomic design you won't forget.

Apple's competitors are "Flumoxed" indeed.
