Not so much a big deal on the 5pt multipoint, as they are clearly pushing the touch cover option for input as the main focus.
It will be interesting but I am betting it will do well in the long run . . .
Pre-ordered Surface RT.
Having used an iPad for a while now, all I want a tablet for is media consumption, emails and the like. Anything I would need the Pro for, I will do on my laptop/PC.

It looks like bluestacks WILL support Windows 8 on ARM.

I pre–ordered a 32gb without cover on the first day. I was going to wait on the pro but realized its going to be priced near 1000 and I already have a i7 laptop so I don't need a pro at this moment maybe wait until my laptop is outdated which would be at least a year and by then the surface pro 2 would likely be out depending how successful the first one is.
Now I need to decide which cover I like. type or touch? Which color? I need to go to the Microsoft store to try it out.
What cover are you guys getting?

Hi++
this is a personal question but I'll choose Black or white !
And(type & touch is my choice )
This thread can help you
Good luck !
I plan to line up on Friday morning to pick up a 32GB Surface + Type Cover. Including taxes, my total looks like $668.30. I also talked with the employees at my local store, they are not doing discounts of any kind for the Surface, at least, not for the initial production run.
I got the tracking information on my pre-order being shipped an hour or so ago. It was shipped directly from SUZHOU, CN yesterday and is scheduled to arrive at my home by 10:30 AM tomorrow. How cool is that?
Bye.

Well the Microsoft store leaves much to be desired in communication and real time info. I ordered my 64gb with touch cover on Oct 18th and received confirmation it will be received by 10/26 but it has sat there continually "in process" - not shipped. I have been monitoring my account and called them today to find out what's the status, at 4pm PST mind you, and they said it is scheduled to be received by me at 10:30 am on 10/26. I reminded the rep that that is tomorrow morning, but they didn't seem to have an issue and said I would get a shipping confirmation in the next 24-48 hours - I reminded them that it would be after it would actually be received.
Maybe an MS Employee is going to hand deliver it to me, or their shipping info is not really updated.
Hopefully it shows up as I will be pissed if not, as I have an MS store close by that I could have gone to if not, but thought online would be more efficient.

Pre-Ordered the 64 GB version w/Type cover on 10/17 and recieved it this morning by FedEx at 10am. Supposed to be working...Guess the weekend starts early!
i pre order mine on 20th oct and have no news from MS, some one told me there will be 2-3 week delay in delivery...
I got mine from a MS store - had a reservation - showed up at 10 AM and was put FIRST on line - then was let in 2 minutes later - I interpret that to mean no one else bothered to reserve.
Behind me however there were about 30 people who wanted to buy but had no reservations.
All in all not exactly a stellar turnout.

There's a mall based store in Nassau county Long Island NY. Never even new it existed. Its a rather nice store to wander around for any tech aficionado.
They had the Surface on display, as well as the Samsung Slate 7 (the Windows 7 version) but with Windows 8 running on it.
Wow is that impressive. Fast, responsive and running full Windows - in addition it did not feel much thicker or heavier than an ARM tablet - I'm still tempted even now to return the Surface and buy a Samsung Slate 7 and just install Windows 8 on it.
But if I wait, I believe they are releasing a windows 8 version eventually that has a keyboard and stylus included. The windows 7 version I think has keyboard optional and no stylus.
What made me laugh, is that there was a sign on an empty store front just a short way down the mall on the opposite side practically facing the Microsoft store - it says: Apple store coming soon. Wonder who's idea that was.
