I'm not a fan of Microsoft software. Far from it. I find Microsoft software to be generally awful, buggy, bloated stuff. But I have to say, I have always been a huge fan of Microsoft hardware. It's strange that a company that is best known for being one of the biggest software companies around actually does a very good job with the hardware they sell. I'm genuinely intrigued to see how good the Surface hardware holds up to the competition, but it sounds promising so far. I'm just curious how long it is until someone gets Android running on it ;)
