Is anyone else taking this seriously? I am actually quite intrigued by the device. Specifically the Windows 8 version.

Wanted to get everyone's thoughts. Got a new job and am in the middle of reconciling a lot of my toys, selling on ebay and such and want to consolidate my laptop/slate into something a bit more efficient.

I'm quite interested in it. The arm version isn't quite as appealing, but the Intel version definitely is. There's a few remote management tools that I use that don't have Android equivalents thus limiting the usefulness of an Android tablet unless I pivot off another remote system. With the Surface running Windows 8, I wouldn't have to pivot off another machine.

I have been reading about them also. They really better be nice out of the gate.
