Microsoft Surface PC announced... A third time?

Yesterday Microsoft announced its new Tablet Surface PC!   Looks pretty nice  and has some interesting input / navigation opportunities.  Havent we seen this before?

So I have some trivia for you.   What do the following years have in common; 1992, 2002, 2012?   10years?  Not the answer I was looking for....   It is the years in which Microsoft tried pitching the Tablet PC!


Will the third round be successful this time?  It seems this concept is as tired as the look on Blamer's face introducing it.   If Microsoft pitches the productivity market again it will likely suffer the fate of its two predecessors.  I still firmly believe tablets are only ideal for consumption and Apple currently owns that domain, so this will be a tough market for them yet again.

2002
