| From: Anthony de Boer <adb@adb.ca> | They've always been more successful at hardware: things like the Z80 | card (CP/M on the Apple ][+, yay!) or the early serial mice, and now | this. Shame about their attempts to diversify into software, really. This is actually a Dell monitor that the Microsoft Store is selling. Microsoft's Surface seems nice enough after the 3rd attempt. But I still think that a clamshell is a better format than a tablet + keyboard. Remember that Xenix was originally from them. I wonder what the landscape would be like if Microsoft had gone with it instead of NT (there was internal discussion of that). It might not have been good for us given their controlling nature.
