No blue screens during demo this year?

Nope, only haters.

... And a drugged woman on stage. Saw the keynote completely. Liz needs to cut the caffeine or whatever she's having...

Proving to be an interesting year for Microsoft, that's for sure.

If they're going to support system-on-chip, then does that mean they will phase out wp7 in the future and replace it with win8?

No windows 8 on SoC is for higher powered/performance Arm chips for use in situations such as tablets/netbooks/PoS/ATM's etc

the surface 2.0 demo is incredible !!!! I don't know how they do this (scaning a paper on a screen), but its really great.

I wonder how pissed Intel is at the moment?

I just hope that AMD will work together with ARM on some machines.
Their neo systems are far from energy efficient,
A windows running on an ARM system could benefit greatly from the low power, high performance integrated graphics cards from AMD!

Better than Nvidias cards.

I find what intel is in the processor market (highest power, lowest power consumption) AMD is in the graphics market.
We know NVidia will be working together with ARM, but I believe pretty soon the x86 processor architecture will be the past.
I'm glad I read up on this review, and extend me purchasing a pc for perhaps next year, ARM powered instead.

Wait..... WP7 didn't have copy and paste on release? iOS (or however that is capitalized) didn't for a long time and it was a rampant plague of complaints. I almost considered buying a WP now I am going to keep my Android.

Pac-man and Fruit-ninja is already out for WP7... I guess someone was not updated before she used that word hole.
