@Admin_RobertCity
Well dude, you better get on the phone to Microsoft, cause if history is any indication they have already started working on their “version(*cough*copy*cough*).

What i find surprising is that Apple has managed to combine all the functionality thats actually *NEEDED* from this class of product (not a netbook and not a smartphone), executed it well(system design including all benefits and limitations) and managed to undercut the competitors in price.

It's already disrupted the Amazon ebook pricing model. The biggest publishers are all on board and now indebted to Apple for making the Amazon thing possible. And there are reports that hardware competitors are being forced to rethink their intended slates due to that surprisingly low $499 entry price. That's a lot of disruption for a product that hasn't even shipped yet. You need to take a longer term view and think about the iPad as part of a connected whole (device, store, content).

Really. Just keep with the windows tradition, bring back the basic start menu, and make the new aero theme even more shiny for those who have modern computers.
