Has anyone seen a miltitasking demo of Surface with more than 2 apps? I want to know how it handles it, do the apps shrink into the little side bar and continue running in the background with the ability to scroll through them?

it does two active applications at once, the rest are 'tombstoned' and instantly brought back into life when re-selected.

Cook: I suppose you could design a car that flies and floats, but I don't think it would do all of those things very well.

He's right. A flying car couldn't possibly be as good as a plane or a boat. But I sure as hell would want one.

Tim: COMPROMISED PRODUCT!

rg: That's not a sentence Tim.

Tim: You know I can end you right?

The original Surface thread is one of my favorites. Don't think I've ever seen such a turnaround. And Brotkasten, you're the best, but skimming through it again I laughed really hard reading some of your predictions/reactions in there. Or in your own words:

Also the Surface without the keyboard seems a bit pointless to me. I mean it comes with Office.

Office/The entire desktop on Surface seems a bit pointless to me, but I guess my view of tablets doesn't *quite* match up with Microsofts view.

I don't understand why they are sending them out on the 26th in the UK. It just adds extra days to the delivery time. What's the point in that?

I don't like Belfiore's hair :-D

Panay just has that genuine enthusiasm that makes me want to believe that Surface totally is the best thing ever. I wonder if he could present any product like that, or if he just truly believes in what they did with Surface.

Oh yeah?! Well my pre-order may not arrive until Monday! I feel no pity for you ;). It did leave Alaska a few hours ago and I'm on the West coast, so maybe there's an outside chance I'll still get it tomorrow. The CSR I spoke to said I would, but I'm not convinced.

Metro IE has a whitelist. Desktop IE of course has everything. Click the wrench in Metro IE to jump to the Desktop version.

Hey, at least I got something right!

brotkasten said:
There needs to be at least one real disappointment and that would be the price.

I say $499 for the RT version and a lot, lot more for the pro version.

That, or they won't announce a price at all.

brotkasten said:
Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later they reveal the price and there's running and screaming.

Opera better put together a browser for the damn thing. It's my favorite browser on both my Kindle Fire and my PC.


LOL...just went to Arstechnica.com and their site design made me want to hurl. Ew.

Good sign (high demand) or bad sign (slow production)?
Click to expand...

probably a good sign. TBH, I wasn't expecting it until after christmas. That's why I went ahead and preordered one. I'll use my MS one as a gift to a lucky family member. Maybe my cousin. I love that kid :)
