Microsoft Introduces a Really Sexy PC Tablet… errr, Booklet…

Warning: I’m about to say something incredibly positive about Microsoft. Assuming it’s OS isn’t based on any currently existing in the Microsoft oeuvre (I’d be willing to provide a hands-on examination of the booklet just to make sure), this Courier looks astoundingly intuitive and functional in ways I’ve only dreamed about in a tablet pc. Of course, this is more of a booklet, but who the hell cares? Call it ham sandwich if you want. I don’t care. If it’s compatible with anything else PC based and works as fast and simply as shown in the video below, then Apple is going to actually have to make an effort to outdo this little booklet instead of automatically blowing anything anyone else does out of the water simply by breaking out the black turtlenecks and announcing a press conference.

This is where I get needy and start begging: Microsoft, please don’t give Apple the satisfaction. And even though I want one NOW, please don’t release this thing until you know it works as it should (same thing goes for that Xbox 360 Project Natal thing). Crashy buggy half implemented PC functionality just helps sell more Apples. I have a history in Quality Assurance, so feel free to send me one to test. You’ll plotz at the extent of my documentation. In other words…

Gimme Gimme.
