Just finished watching live coverage of Microsoft's Surface event on The Verge. Too soon to know much but my initial thought was: impressive.
If there was any question Google had to buy Motorola, we have our answer. No question. Google absolutely HAS to be in hardware to compete against Apple, Microsoft and Amazon tablets.
Microsoft has laid out an option that is much easier for consumers to understand than anything Google has laid out for tablets to date. (Update 6/27: scratch that and you can actually buy this one too!)
The Internet is impressed as well. Buzz around Microsoft's Surface event is about equal to Apple's WWDC event in which they announced the MacBook Pro with Retina Display, iOS 6 and their mapping solution among other announcements.
I should clarify that I'm impressed at the effort. I've never touched the device much less actually used it. I'll never use Windows again - that's a life decision I'm very comfortable with and ALOT can go wrong for Microsoft. Apple warrior MG Siegler does a great job of summing up the potential pitfalls Redmond is facing.
