Thanks for the link, Hugh. Interesting. Things are changing so fast, and fracturing into so many different device/system options. Don’t know if this is CRIMPer paradise or hell.

My thought too. I got an iPad Mini just before Christmas. Then it was the latest thing. Now the latest thing is the Microsoft Surface - with, quite possibly, distinct advantages. Next week, perhaps a Windows 8 tablet with a digitiser. And after that?

You and I are in the same boat… I got a mini in November. I’m pretty happy with it, but the Surfice is certainly enticing. The one thing that makes me hopeful for the iPad is the promised Tinderbox for iPad! If that app comes out (and I think Mark mentioned on the forum that he was expecting it first quarter of this year) and is a good fit with mother app, then that could be nirvana (at least for a few weeks).

The whole concept of Windows 8 has been to have an OS that transcends the hardware barriers, so that you can run it on desktops, notebooks, tablets, phones and whatever else might come out in the future. Windows 8 offer a significant advantage:
- To developers because they don’t have to develop for a whole range of different devices and OSs
- To users because they don’t have to pay for separate licenses in order to be able to run similar tools in their various devices
At the same time Microsoft has offered Windows 8 at a very low price to ensure that it catches up very quickly.
Microsoft can still strategize.
The fact that I personally don’t like the actual system is quite irrelevant.
