Not as high as some...not as low as some. Just right...Goldilocks says.
price on the pro yet.
"Metro is innovative and powerful, but its high learning curve will discourage more than a few of you."
Why do these guys keep repeating the same old BS. This OS is not difficult to use at all. Man does anyone have an original thought anymore, every tech side I go to just rehash the same crap. Do some research and release an original thought. Please!

benefit at all to enterprise, and it appears it may be a retrograde step for enterprise because of the retail consumer focus
Agree with you Chris. Even this article is pulled from CNET which currently has a very predictable bias towards apple.
I spent 10 minutes at a Microsoft kiosk in a mall trying out the surface and was using it with no problem.

completely agree. there is a learning curve, but it's not that steep.... actually, it's more of an adjustment, than a learning curve.
And other than the new "start menu", everything else seems to be pretty much the same as win7. I kinda like it.

I'm sold.
Just about to rush out and get one, right now,,,,, hang on though,,,,,,, one teensy weensy minor flaw here, and it may just prove to be a deal breaker, for me at least.
A usb 2 port? You have got to be kidding me right?
I mean, I'm sold on the whole concept of integration.
I want what I use and am familiar with at work to be available to me when I'm at home and when Im at play, I'll get the windows 8 phone, I WANT the tablet, I'll upgrade my laptop from windows 7 to windows 8, I've even just finished building my latest tower for the home, and guess what, it has usb 2 AND usb 3 ports on it, and the difference for transferring large files is night and day, and believe me as more and more of our lives get digitised, our footprint gets bigger and bigger, and trying to transfer bigger and bigger files via usb 2 is going to get painfully slow.
I may have to wait now for the first upgrade of this, which I suspect will include an upgrade from the current, and obsolete, usb 2 port to a more modern and up to date usb 3 port. Sorry Microsoft, apart from that one tiny, fatal flaw, I would be on-board today. As it is, I'll wait for the upgrade.

Are you kidding? It has a USB port...unlike the leading tablet.
USB 3.0 better? Sure. No USB port at all? Bad

I know what you're saying JH, and I fully agree, ANY USB port is better than none. AND I may well may well rescind my earlier "deal breaker" comment (read probably).
However, I maintain Microsoft could have just as easily put a 3 in there as a 2 and I suspect that will be one of the 'improvements' in one of the first upgrades

I fooled around with Windows 8 at a local Costco on two events. The first one I tried it on non-touch screen laptops and it was a royal P-I-T-A!
The second time I tried it on a touch-enabled 27" all-in-one HP and the touch interface makes a HUGE difference. It makes me go from the "not-interested anymore" after the laptop, to "I would try one" for a touch tablet.
