Nice thanks for posting this, will be checking it out for sure.

Microsoft trying to get the most out of silverlight before they kill it for good.

Wonder if they are going to talk about the Pro today?

Those hand movements....

Yeah. Pretty effective presentation overall.

i love how he just keeps walking around handing them out treating people like children.

also i wish he handed out the one he dropped lol.

One thing nobody has noticed is that Microsoft made sure the windows button stands out even when folded back so people know your using a surface from far away.

Yes that was a cheesy line but how many other tablets could you do that on and copy your pictures so quickly and easily?

Not sure. With the iPad you'd need the camera connection kit if you wanted to plug in a camera - I don't know too much about Android tablets, but I'm assuming some of them have built-in USB ports?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Apple camera connection kit doesn't give you a USB port though does it? I though it basically gave you an SD card socket?

It includes two adapters, one giving you a USB port, the other an SD card reader.

Me too! But I will wait for the pro version.

Can't wait for Surface Pro!

What did he say right at the VERY end? "Hey guys, just a little announcement..." I think it blocked the audio out after that.

yeah the audio cut out, i'm not sure if it was an accident though or not (probably was)

"The blackers are black and the whiters are white".

I think he may have reversed a few words.

His brain speaks faster than his mouth. Happens to me all the time.

Man, I would have loved to have been just given a free Surface . Just like a lot of others, I'm waiting for the pro model. I'm a bit disappointed that there wasn't any info on it.

Well that would suck if he took them back after the presentation .

so who in nyc is going to times square at 10 pm to buy one?

I absolutely love it.... I already like it so much more then the iPad... they did such a great job with everything.. Panos is a great presentor too. Bravo to their entire team.

Cracking presentation, one of Microsoft's best and practically nobody from the tech world cared.

Oh, God! *.*

I don't know about you guys but I don't think I can recall any MS release in recent times where the crowd were cheering and hollering enthusiastically. Well done!
