I'll take it though. I agree with most of what the author states in the article. BTW what difference does closed source OS makes anymore? (Other than price.) Android is hardly wavering to open source concerns and iOS?! And bugs? At times, my android tablet is nothing short of frustrating. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Peter Brawley Sent: Monday, August 20, 2012 12:27 PM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] 10 reasons I can't wait to get a Microsoft Surface tablet On 2012-08-20 11:41 AM, Jim Lawrence wrote: > http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/10things/10-reasons-i-cant-wait-to-ge > t-a-mi > crosoft-surface-tablet/3386?tag=nl.e101 otoh ... 1: I don't want a closed source OS on my tablet 2: I don't want my tablet to be a full participant in my network 3: In a tablet, touch is enough for me. 4.
