Microsoft’s new Surface Pro tablet ships next week, but there’s a little brou-ha-ha stirring on the total available storage for both models. Especially interesting, as Microsoft touts their latest design efforts as no compromise. Sorry, MS – but no compromise just points to bad design.
Thoughts?

Probably does need 256 gigs, to be realistic. But judging it like an iPad is not fair either. Perforance wise, it is something in the order of a 10:1 ratio, in favor of the Surface. (No I wouldn’t own one, I want a real keyboard with my portable computing, thank you very much)

I know, splitting hairs and Bob has few to spare :)
