1. Microsoft Aust website shows Windows Surface not yet available, but will take orders for the Surface RT for A$559. No set delivery date yet. Hmm. No price on the Surface Pro yet, either.

Comparable iPad is A$659, while a comparable Samsung unit is A$559.

2. The Surface RT is NOT a full blown OS according to the Microsoft website as it is NOT capable of handling any other major applications. Oops.

OK, from what I see and read, it's OK as replacement for a Netbook or a tablet for checking webmail and the Internet, but not capable of handling much in the way of real time productivity due to it's physical limitations. Then the Win 8 large icons affect the usable screen surface too.

This would make a great e-book reader, but I can get a good one of those for a lot less, too.
