Well in using it, I found a few nice features I have not seen work right on other tablets. How would anyone know? Microsoft's advertising reflects the Ballmer attitude - little grasp of what the product should actually do.

The expression "There's an app for that" said what the product can do. And why I would want it. And what was relevant in a better product. It said top management was concerned about the product - not about finance or profits.
