I wonder if I can get it to run Linux. That would make a pretty nice machine, if so.

Edit: I'm not hating on Windows. I just don't prefer it.

I think the Surface Book is finally something that can give the MacBook Pro line a run for its money, this should be interesting.

Linux does not support hybrid graphics properly. (I've got a Zbook G2, dockable, Nvidia + Intel. I'm developing for Linux, so it'd be great to run Linux on it, but it's not practical at all.)

How much adoption of windows phones do you think it will take for google to start releasing dedicated apps like they do on iPhones?

Credit to Panos and everyone who put that together, I didn't see the removable screen coming. That was the kind of "one more thing" moment that rivals Apple at their best showmanship.

I think they've pulled the rug from under other HW vendors, and that is well-deserved (for the vendors). MS essentially made the ultimate Windows PC (tablet, pen, long battery life, powerful GPU if needed), after waiting for the partners for years.

This saddens me.

I was really excited about the Surface Book even before they showed that the keyboard is detachable, then I about lost my mind. Holy wow.
