Len, that is because I'm bloody busy, 12 hour days + travelling time + family time = not a lot of time to do sweet F all else. It's a lovely device, I'd have it over any Android tablet I've tried so far. The Store is lacking some apps, but it's got a good amount of top apps. I don't get the need for a facebook or twitter app other people keep moaning about, it's got a damn fine IE10 to browse the web.

Although I think you might see the full fat 'surface' flatform take off in the commercial / corporate 'space'.

Isn't the x86 version a bit expensive for what it is?

It's a superb device, it's better than I expected and the available apps are growing rapidly! The touch keyboard is much better to use than you'd expect, it's a weird experience using it at first !

Not really, it's about the same price as ultrabooks and have the same internals as an ultrabook (i3-i7's) with a higher res screen than the Surface RT.
