Wait...you're an Apple fan?

"Take that apple."

LOL]]>Jun 2nd 2008 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/I believe Apple will drop a tablet device and it will do a lot of stuff that MS table can do.
Oh, Apple makes it own computers to run its own OS on. Take that MS!
C'mon, see if you'll you'll rule 96% of the computer OS market if you had to pony up the money to make the hardware to run it.

Maybe I should randomly bring up some of my favorite Samsung products and how they are better than this?]]>Jun 2nd 2008 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/
"Take that MS!"

Take what?]]>Jun 2nd 2008 9:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/
Isn't it obvious? He was attacking MS with bad grammar and unsupported claims. He knows those things annoy intelligent people.]]>Jun 2nd 2008 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/
By "Take that MS", I'd assume he means the huge chunk of the PC Market that Apple can't take from them..

Or something..]]>Jun 2nd 2008 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/Jun 2nd 2008 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/Jun 2nd 2008 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/Jun 3rd 2008 4:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/

Surely one of Microsoft's key and overriding targets in its long term innovation strategy is the idea that computers will be completely and seamlessly integrated into our living environment.

If you ignore anything that can be plugged in, my living environment consists of four walls, some carpet and furniture. ]]>Jun 2nd 2008 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/
LOL - now that is a funny statement. If Bach isn't blowing smoke, MSFT will have had twenty engineers working for eight years by the time Surface becomes commercial in 2011. That's 160 man-years of 100% wasted effort. Oh the humanity!]]>Jun 2nd 2008 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/Jun 2nd 2008 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/Jun 2nd 2008 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/Jun 2nd 2008 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/Jun 2nd 2008 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/Jun 2nd 2008 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/Jun 2nd 2008 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/Work it so that it's can be a normal program that runs on XP and/or Vista and make it compatible with normal systems and that have a touch screen (I.E. don't be ass holes like with Windows Media Center and make it OEM only).
Who needs these huge honking desks in a home or non-retail/food service business environments?
Hell, imagine a flat panel touch screen that easily rotates from a standard orientation to a tablet-like configuration. With multi-touch I'm sure that it would have the pixel density.]]>Jun 2nd 2008 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/
Windows 7 will have multi-touch support.

Media Center is part of Windows Vista Ultimate, which doesn't require OEM.]]>Jun 4th 2008 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/02/robbie-bach-on-microsoft-surface-we-dont-want-to-be-in-the-fu/
I love the way Engadget is always afraid to form a opinion without covering their asses in the process for fear of offending some fanboy. Not that MS fanboys actually exist.]]>Jun 2nd 2008 2:00PM
