Touchscreens are a nuisance to use, but I put up with it on a phone for portability and a bigger screen. I'll stick with keyboard and mouse for desktop, it's like the steering wheel of a car, it works, there's no need to change it. |

Well the monitor could always be bigger...":O}

Tablets work well for some situations. Tell me how well you can DJ using a keyboard and mouse, where you need to control more than one control at the same time. With a touch screen, that's pretty intuitive and easy to work with. Keyboard and mouse work well for others. Touch screens require a different approach to GUI to make things work. I think there's room for both!

Surface with Windows RT, 32 GB with Black Touch Cover: $599 Why would anyone want to pay $599 for what is basically a very low spec laptop? Ballmer thinks these things are great, but just look at him, he is a gimp. |

$600 bucks, is that with or with out keyboard and mouse, I read they cost extra? Does the cover cost extra to? I bet Ms hasn't started giving away any apps yet, how much does to cost to flush out one of these puppies with the software that gives you the feel most assured?
