I would tend to agree about Steve Ballmer. A smart guy, just doesn't to inspire - a manager rather than a leader. Microsoft seems to be stagnating a bit under his stewardship, similar (IMHO) to Cisco and John Chambers. Potentially a game-changing device, but personally I would've done the 'business-focused' Surface first, as Apple will be tough to compete against in the consumer space, although the RT version 'should' run MS Office ... Let's see if MS gets Surface to market before MSO arrives on iOS (even though it's still only a rumor).
That keyboard certainly does promise a lot, and if I'm running Excel on "something," I sure don't want to have to rely on a touch keyboard (ugh). Maybe I'll bug the guys at the local Microsoft Store (almost next door to the Apple Store at a local mall) for some details.
Speaking of the MS store, they do have some really nice Windows 7 tablets, but really expensive.
