well good afternoon and welcome i want to thank everybody uh... for joining us for today's event. the past several years it has seen greatchange uh... in the industry in great innovations coming frommicrosoft. we've helped usher a new era ofcloud computing, we've embraced mobility we're redefining communications inattempting to transform entertainment
in all that we have done. windows is the heart and soul of microsoft. from windows pcs to windows servers, windows phonesand windows 8zure. windows is proving to be the most flexible general-purposesoftware ever created.
spurring on an ecosystem of unrivaled success. when microsoft was founded our vision was bold and broad, a computer on every desk and in every home. and while certainly we are optimist to the core windows has exceeded
even our most optimistic predictions. it now powers well over one billion pcs from desktops to laptops the atms, the nasa workstations, andmore... in homes, in businesses, in schools and in governments
literally around the world. with windows 8 we've re-imagined the windows product. we've re-imagine windows from the chipset to the user experience, the power a new generation of pcs that enable new capabilities and new scenarios. we approached the windows 8 productdesign
in a forward looking way. we designed windows 8 for the world we know in which most pcs are mobile and people want access to information and the ability to create content from anywhere, anytime. people wanted to all of that without compromising
the productivity that pcs are uniquely known for. from personal productivity applicationsto technical applications, business software, and literally millions of other applications that are written for windows that work perfectly on windows 8.
we're incredibly gratifying by the enthusiastic response to windows 8 from our partners, our oem partners, thousands of developers, and literally millions of peopleconsumers who've downloaded our preview. excitement is hot with the new x86 and arm socs support,
the new metro user interface, and the new store all getting very broadinterest. today, we wanna add another piece, another bed of excitement and anotherpiece to that windows eight story. and our foundation bill gates and paul allen made a bet... a bet on software at the same time it was always clear
that what our software could do would require us to push hardware, sometimes in ways that even the makersof the hardware themselves had yet to envision. that's the nature of the dynamic betweenhardware and software pushing each other and pulling each other forward. in fact, our number one revenue product actually
when i joined microsoft in 1980 was a hardware product something known as the softcard. let's just take a little bit of a look back at the role of hardware at microsoft. microsoft has been working with hardware for thirty years and we have over 3200 hardware patents
one every three days over our 30 years of history think about a mouse that was the first type of input that you would interact witha piece of software. being able to work with a gui in word was why the mouse was invented. piece of hardware that was so uniquelyso wonderful that somebody said we can't get thisso we were going to do it ourselves. the #1 selling keyboard so much built into it.
it's so instrumental in how you work witha computer xbox, it's a huge diamond in the gaming market the same thing we did 30 years ago making software comes to life we're doing that now with our new product. we'rehitting our stride for sure when it comes to innovation developing a product that will touch our customers in a meaningful way i think this is a really cool that's the first thing that attracts me to them
a constant evolution, that's what makes this placespecial. that's what drives us, that's why we come to work every day. that's why we work so hard. i ampersonally proud of the kinect. we are responsible for an awesome experience. so when you pull up a gaming device to do that you control all your design in all we manufacturer it ourselves. it's about the desire tochange the world, to do something else. what i see coming out of the hardware group, it blows my mind. as excited as i am aboutseeing people using a device right now i'm even more excited about thisstuff we're developing for the future.
we believe that any intersection between human and machine can be made better when all aspects of the experience.hardware and software are considered and working together. just let's take the mouse as an example to be successful windows one oh really needed
a mouse so we built one. early reviews of mice were not very positive as people struggled to understand thereal value. in fact they actually it was so new that canadian customs quarantined themicrosoft mouse at the border for four weeks thinkingthat it was "alive". our most successful harbor product hasbeen the xbox and with kinect, we have created a whole new userexperience
and now developers are pushing kinect, doing more exciting and even coolerthings for both the game console and for windows pcs. this combination of hardware, software and peripherals in the xboxcase worked together, to deliver and absolutely amazing experience.
we see that kind, that sort of combination working alsotoday in our pc ecosystem. we believe in the strength of thatecosystem of software and hardware companies thatwork together to deliver selection and choice that makes your windows experience uniquely your own. those partnerships are essential
for the reimagination of windows. we've worked with the componentcompanies intel, amd, nvidia, qualcomm and texas instruments. of course, the ultimate landing point ofthis pc experience is through our partnerships with oems. hp, dell asus, acer, samsung, sony, lenovo, toshiba and many many more. they will deliver more pcs to marketin the year 2013
than in any previous year. itc estimates that number at 375 million windows pcs. that will ensure that software developers and content creators have a larger number of new systems to target with their windows 8applications
than any other non phone platform. however with windows 8, we did not want to leave any sceneuncovered. much like windows 1.0 needed themouse to complete the experience, we wanted to get windows 8 its own companion, hardware innovation
what is this innovation? it's something new, it's something different, all new family of computing devices from microsoft. this is the new microsoft surface. it embodies the notion of hardware and software
really pushing each other. people do want to create and consume. they wanna work and they wanna play. they want to be on their account, they want to be at their desk, and they want to be on the go.
surface fulfills that dream in as a tool to surface your passion to surface your ideas to surface your creativity and to surface your enjoyment. i really want you to take the time today
to get to know microsoft surface. so let's now learn more from steven sinofsky and the microsoft surface team. just as we've reimagined windows we also have a vision reimaginingthe tablet. we see a tablet that is designed the waythat windows has been designed. we see a tablet that represents a uniquevision with a seamless expression of the entertainment and creativity.
a tablet that works and plays the waythat you want to a tablet that's a great pc a pc that's a great tablet. a new type of computing surface surface is a stage for windows surfaces is designed with the softwareexperience to take it center stage. surface is super thin at 9.3millimeters
it's just thin enough for this full size usb port for peripherals or just charging yourphone wire at the hotel. the edges bevel away at 22degrees so the pc itself fades into the background. it feels natural in your hands. surface is the first pc with a full magnesium case. three unique process the liquid metal isformed into an ultra rigid,
yet ultralight frame. it is incredibly strong, airy at under 1.5 pounds just 676 grams. and it's finely balanced. you know we didn't stop there, the case is one of a kind, it's a made from a physical vapordeposition process. it results in a permanent scratch and wear resistance tosurface. this is a vapormg case it's the firstof a kind and accentuate an unique
feel to the surface. surfaces of course is great forentertainment has access to all of the windows 8 apps formusic, for video, for xbox gaming. we can see here and running internetexplorer i can browse smoothly users see greatleaders using the using clears right and have a great experiences with browsing. it's 10.6 optically bondedwidescreen display is custom-designed built for surface. and of course people play games,
i can go and play any of the interestinggames that are on the new windows store and i can use surface for using all thesensors that are within windows 8 as well. surface works for all of those games, movies entertainment look great as well. excuse me just a second. surface works great for entertainmentas well in fact i'm gonna show here for the first time but very exciting newapplication. this is the netflix application designed specifically for windows 8.
note the wide screen you get 30percent more viewing area and no banding or letterbox unlike a traditional pc. i'm happy to show this new netflixapplication designed specifically for windows 8 with semantics zoom. an effort to have this ready at thewindows 8 launch. i can go here and start a movie and see it's starting straight to mysurface pc. just like you would expect
now it streams so well surface these great wifi surface is the first tablet toincorporate dual 2x2 wireless antennas. that means that provides the very bestwifi reception of any tablets today. surface is incredibly great for windows8 for entertainment pc and you know we're just getting started. today when you've got yourself when youwanna be entertained you have to hold it you're always sitting in an awkwardposition there
perhaps you have to choose from aseemingly endless variety of add-on stands and cases that solve all relatively simple problem butby adding weight, adding thickness what if i just want to watch movie orlisten to music and do something else? we think that this should be in integralpart of the design we think that it best and should beintegrated so we've built a stand into the device. this stand is made of the same vapor mag as the rest of the case and it'scompletely integrated into the device
the hinge design is like that of the finest luxury car and when not in use it just fades away no extra weight no extra thickness no separate add-onit's integrated just like the software and the hardwareintegrated into surface. and then once you have this kickstandyou can sit back and enjoy a truly hands-free experience you know you could go and just put thesurface on the table
lay back and watch a movie and that's really what entertainmentshould be about with the surface but you know surface is designed to bemobile we designed surface to be rugged and andand move around but with vapormg and corning gorilla glass 2you do not need to worry at all but we know they people prefer to havesome sort of cover a cover that helps to just act like aneasy on off switch at least so surface has a cover. we designed to cover to be an integralelement of the pc
we built a magnetic connector into thedevice to hold it very securely let me attach the cover here that it's solid close a cover it's integrated into thedevice it's made from a fine northwest polartec... it feels great in your hand like a book itjust sits there and we look at the whole surface on thecover we challenge ourselves to do more
this cover is just three millimeterscombined with surface, there is just over 12 mm, that's less than half an inch. and we said why not do something withthe surface why shouldn't we just take the surfaceand make it a full multi touch keyboard this touch cover it's not just the full multi-touchkeyboard but it's a modern trackpad with left andright buttons it even has the keys for the windows 8metro style ui.
this keyboard combined with the kickstand form ahallmark for hands on creativity on average, typing is twice as efficient as typingon glass and it's certainly more comfortable. now of course the innovative stringon-screen keyboard in windows is still there and you can mix and match the choice is really going to be yours just put them on the table and you'vegot a great setup.
let me go here and show you a differentsurface this service is connected to externalhdmi that's built into the device i'm gonna go here and now i've got the touch cover connected now with front and rear facing cameras, on this device i can record videosonto the start that camera application so i can go here and and i could tiltthe surrounding angle it so i could see it
this camera's angle is set at twenty two degrees. by angling it twenty two degrees, everybody at the table their head isperfectly framed into the picture or when i'm sitting at the seat i can do asnapshot and i'm perfectly framed but this device also has windows on itor office on it so i go to the desktop and there's word running
now it's really is i could also hadusing the multitasking capabilities i can dock the camera up there and now i can reported our interview and take notes i could record myself and read from mynotes and that it is really cool. in fact i can even use the usb port and plug and an external speaker and andmicrophone
even though it has to a dual led lightsinto all speakers built-in and i think it's super high qualityreporting. and so that's a quick look at at it the surface. now there's so much more to show youtoday now imagine if you will that we took all of those capabilitiesof surface and we built them so that you get it youcould use all the applications that you're familiar with
you could use photoshop or you could useother applications those applications would be built using the latest of the intel coreprocessor now that in addition to that surface that would be releasing todayfor windows rt we also have a surface that's designed with theselatest intel processors so in addition to working on the intelprocessor were also working with on the surface for windows 8 professional.
i'd like to introduce mark angiulo. who's gonna come up on stage and show us a little bit of the nextgeneration of the next generation of surface. thank you very much steven. i am proud to introduce you to anothermember of the surface family this is surface for windows 8 pro. the windows ecosystem has always beenabout choice and for the millions of professionaldesktop users out there people who use their pc everyday todesign and create things this is a great
choice for you it shares the same design principlesthat steve was talking about it's a stage for windows it shows the same pride in craftsmanship it's less than two pounds and less than14 millimeters it's a full pc now this also have a clear type display stevens pc had a clear tape hd this isa clear type full hhd display and what that means is three things
it's a combination of are very specificpixel geometry rendering and optical bonding process thattogether create the effect that you and i can'tdistinguish between the individual pixels at normal viewing distances in this caseit seventeen inches less than arm's length. this clear type display also reduces height and conserves battery power
at some of the other high performancefeatures you sought to it's got that dual antennatechnology this is a person tablets it has dual high-performance antennas and receivers so that you get the best wifiperformance possible no matter how you hold it it also has a chassis it's built out ofthat same durable an elegant vapor mag thatenables features like that
.7 millimeter thing takes them less than a millimeter it's got the same compatible accessoryspine steven had so if you take a touch cover like he had it just clicked in. it clicks in thesame has that same designed in feeling because the entire surface family ofproducts was designed together. even close like this this is still lessthan 17 millimeters. this pc has specs that rival someof the finest ultrabooks that have ever
announced. and it delivers the power and theflexibility that you would expect from a high-end pc. this pc is powered by intel's third-generation core i5processor ivy bridge processor this is their 22nm process that result in the cpus. it's faster, a cpu that have doubled the3d graphics throughput all while using less power than today'score i5s. but that power comes a unique designchallenge.
how do you design pc that you might beholding an any different way or have a cover in the front in the back to integrate active cooling? there's no obvious place to put it back so here's our solution: this is calledperimeter venting. you see this groove because all the wayaround the outside of the case there's a good shot of it up on thescreen this allows air to be uniformlydistributed across the entire pc when necessary in a way
that you've never block it with yourhands. in fact, you never even feel a whichmakes the pc really comfortable to hold which is really helpful when doingthings like flipping back your keyboard and taking notes with digital ink. surface for windows 8 pro supportsdigital inking; windows apps of all kinds can support so you can seehere what i've have done is i can go back to the desktop and showyou what i want. i launched the windows reader
this is a pdf file of one of steven's blog post you couldsee a semantic zoom well i can really do here is i can write and i can erase *inaudible dialogue* now what you'll notice the ink andwhen i zoom in that the ink stays smooth. that's because it's being sampled atsix hundred dpi that sub pixel accuracy for ink.
but that doesn't the teacher handwritingvery smooth and uh... hopefully yours are a little better than mine. one of theneat things about this too is as i'm inking from here i can see the tip of the panalmost feels like it's writing exactly on the screen since the screen as optically bondedwe've eliminated the layers in between the thinly covered glass in the screen so it feels like you're taking right onthe page. the distance between the stylus
and where i see the any is only 0.7 millimeters. that's the biggest thing closestdistance of any tablet pc or any tablet. now one of the other thing that's goingon here is as i am moving my hand you see the pages not moving underneathmy hand that's because windows have has hand bock technology. the surface has two digitizers
it has one for touch and a separate one for digital ink. and what happens is is when i bring thepen close to the screen windows sees the proximity of the pen and stop seeking touch inputs so my handdoesn't mess up what i'm writing. and when i'm done with the pen it has a magnetic charging connectorthere it just clicked in. so that's one of the new the cool thingson surface for windows 8 pro inking.
*audience applause* thanks. i would like to show you how they lookreally great in the native resolution of the screen at 1080 resolution. but if you want to unlocked the highestpossible resolutions that ivy bridge supports even higher resolutions that arepossible on via hdmi out. we have display port so now with display port i can take thispc. i can dock it and i basically have a full professional workstation with thepower of the desktop pc.
i have been able to get this plugged in and synced up to the show monitor and this kind of apc is powerful enough to run big applications. applications like photoshop, autodesk, solidworks, enterprise applications that require tpmchip, in this case i'm gonna copy some highres photos onto the pc and edit them in adobe's lightroom. so i'm copying onto the desktop of whatyou'll see here this is a five-second copy that's awhole gigabyte!
that's a whole gigabyte of pictures thatjust copied in five seconds. surface has support for really fast usb 3.0 and the new usb super speed drives. a gigabyte file copy in five seconds is five times faster than usb 2.0, which which make sense of this pcbecause you'll be using it to do big jobs whether your editing big photoslike this on or you're dealing with
big video files or you're doing, you know in steven's case a big job might betyping a super long blog post that you may have read surface is up to the task. now let's sayyou are in factory one of those on the typing jobs you've seen alreadysteven talk a little bit about touch cover and the improvements it makes for typing. let's say you are really fast touchtypist
or maybe just prefer the feel of tactilekeys. well we've got another surface choicefor you: this is surface type cover. it shares the same full-page layout astouch cover but what we've done is we've taken a keyswitch that has a one-and-a-half millimeter travel and we built it into the thinnestpossible package so you can touch type on, but i cantouch type on this as fast as i can
touch type on any keyboard. fully compatible with windows you see the shortcut keys here it has a full modern trackpad withclicking buttons and this completes the surface family ofproducts. i'd like to pull all the surface family together all at one point. panos, would you join us with a colors of touch cover
surface for windows 8 rt surface for windows 8 pro and a handful of the touch cover colorsthat we're going to have a lot that's a complete surface family. *cheers and applause* thanks steven. that's how we feel too so panos especially caught us today is the leader of the team to create surface and have some great stories and some more details about the product andhow it came to be.
panos. thank you. pretty cool. thank you, thank you for havingme i am uh.. unbelievably humbled right now and andflattered to be up here in the surface event i'm recognizing an entire team that's backin redmond right now waiting to see your blog post to see what you have to say this week. we have a team full of designers,development, engineers, manufacturing
engineers uh... hardware testers but all workingon these products right now as we speak. before i get into what i meant talkabout them is this a little bit more about the design that will be more of theculture of how products we built so i think it might be interesting foryou to hear that. i really wanna share with you more ofour team so i want to show you really quick andi'll be right back. the incredible moment when yan idea that you have take many monthsworking really hard
becomes a product. we brought some of the bestpeople at microsoft together creating an awesome device. one of the things that drives us isn't "oh what a great idea!" it's "oh what a great idea and we can build it." collaborating between the disciplines was outstanding we have a full blown team of researchers andengineers user research and dozens of industrial designers all working together
we couldn't ask for a better team than we have right now. not only care about this idea but alsoto care about the smallest details it takes iterations to build the best device each time we make one of those revisions wegot progressively better and better. months and months of prototyping we found it exciting, complex, technologyis amazing. we start to realize that
that we make is really special the first reaction will be "wow!"we put together a system for the first time that was a wild moment. so when you first pick it up, you understand that this is a high quality.a pc with everything that you would want in a tablet device consuming content, crafting email, or writing a term paper that you're able to connect
you know some sort of user experienceall the way down to the atom that's where you start to see new experiences evolved. you'll find that this is a pretty powerful product we're very proud of it. you're gonna get meet a lot of people inthe video in just a few minutes, they're actually back stage right nowpreparing to show you more details of the product and give you a few minutes to putyour hands on it. talk a little bit about the design let me start by doing that to just giveyou a quick preview a vote you might see
backstage in just a few minutes. you heard both steven and michael say it this was built for stage of windows 8 that was part of our core vision for theproduct is very important for us that we have the hardware fade to thebackground for this product it was important so the windows software could rise tothe surface. it gives you the best experiencepossible
when the hardware fades away and what comes to the surface is thatentertaining piece you want when using a note the shape of the sides the angles on the side of thisproduct even-tempered 22 degrees that's two things one it's a physicalmanifestation of the actual stage itself you can see as it falls away just as weintended for the hardware to do but two, it actually sits perfectlycomfortable in your hands let me qualify something.
i think perfectly a lot i say perfect a lot as part of our team culture what wasreally important for us as we had so many parts of the design that had to be in detail and be simple and be right that we always strive for perfection on every sub component of this product. it includes a shamford(sp) angle
what it does is this sits in your hand very comfortably in a way that when you hold it it feelslike it feels airy. most importantly, you can use it all day in comfort it's really important when you talkabout the hardware fade into the background so the hardware is not in the way to accomplish what you want to do. it'smeant to move you forward, which we think this product does now when we talk about hardware fading into the back another thingthat super important is a seamless line
throughout the product when you look at this product you'll see lines going throughout it every line calculated every line built perfectly on the device but there's one challenge our vision for the product beyond beinga stage for windows was also that we had to bring creativity and productivity
to folks such as yourselves the opportunity to transform this deviceyou will to transition it to the state of getting things done. putting this kickstand in the product flies right in the face of seamless lines and getting it perfect but we really spent a lot of time herewe knew that if we did not get the kickstand perfect this device would not work. we could not take any chances
take a look at the three hinges that yousee within this device this is a really simple example of thedetails of the product these are three custom-made hinges mind you there are over two hundredcustom parts built from the inside out of this product to make it come to life but these hinges they respect just as stephen told you they respect to feel and sound like a high-end car door
when you close the device the kickstand just goes away. when you need the device it's there just in time you want to get something done just openit and it feels great the spec we created was around sound we iterated over and over again in our an echochamber
this is a critical point we really wanted to get the sound rightso you get that visceral feeling that emotional attachment to your product when you open this kickstand and close it it makes it yours. it goes away when you don't need it andit's there when you do we talked about the vapormg a few times let me bring vapormg to life just alittle bit here so you can understand a little bit more of what we did.
vapormg essentially becomes what lets us get our product design creating life out of it you can see the break up behind me let me just explain a few things that wehave going on i'm holding up my room key it feels weird the hold of my room key but if you look at this quickly
what you'll see is .77 millimeters of thickness this is an important point if you can't see it, that's all right same as a credit card pull it out yourcredit cards likely somewhere between 0.75 and 0.5 millimeters thick. it's just illustrate a point vapormg is a process
where we start with any of the magnesium and we melt it down to a molten state we did injection molded magnesium precision tools and were able to actuallymold the intricate details that are needed for surface we mold down to.65 millimeters of thickness in any given part .75 we mold to .65
this is important to understand because for us to get to the designneeded for this product to get the kick stand integrated seamlessly and hold this line throughout the product. we have to be able to mold to thosetolerances every micron matters within microsoftsurface we've actually stacked up every partfrom designing from the inside out so tightly in the product
and so cleanly that even if you stuck apiece of tape in the middle of the device it would bulge. it would bulge out that tells you how strong this productis how much strength comes with it how light it feels your hands all thoseparts play into each other the best part about vapormg is not just that we can mold to 0.65 you get the intricate details like the.65 mm and the angles that go
around the product radii. the best part is the smoothness of thefinish that comes out of the tools after approximately a hundred and fiftytwo steps to get the vapormg looking just likeyou see now you'll find at the surface finish on this product and as mike says pride and craftsmanship it's perfect it's seamless
it's screens is nicely finished and when you put it in your hands itfeels it elegant when you touch it you're gonna wanna hold it i promise you now i'm proud of a permanant proud ofthe team for the product that they've done but nothing nothing scares me morenothing gets me more excited than touch i really wanna walk you through touch coverfor just a few moments this is an important technology thatcame out of our group
i'll walk you through it in two ways the first ways through the experience the second way on to talk about is the technology let's do the experience first me explain you what we try to do ittouched cover from the get go you notice i'm gonna connected now to my blue touch cover so i just click it and if you wouldexpect
the surface turns blue along with my touch cover and you have a beautiful integration my surface knows what is connected to it i can now bring to light the vision that has touched cover for this productthe vision that lets you produce content when you want it how you want it as fast as you always done it
that's what this product was designedfor. let me give you one more second on thison a little bit of the experience the thingthat was so critical for us in creating touch cover was that it had to be 3mm thin but that's at odds with most otherkeyboard you've used and still have a great typing experience it also had to be a cover you wanted toconnect something you always had with yousomething they gave you competence
just like to kick stand to bring thisproduct to life we design a flux of magnets in thisproduct that's a combination of alignment in clamping magnets you could actually never missedconnecting this device you can't miss we force you to not miss we do that to give you confidence youclose it it feels like a book
we designed this organically grown likea book we wanted to feel just like that what has more covers than booksthemselves. this spine feels like a book when you put in your hand and you walkaway with your product you'll hold it like a book when you carried against your booksit'll feel like it's another book it's just light enoughand it feels just perfect. that said i think you're gonna fall in lovewith the touch cover i know i have. i mean i'm seriously in love withoutside of my wife, touch covers number
two it's very important to me i never want to take touch cover off and i'd already you that you don't needto and you never have to you saw mike move his touch cover to the back now when he did that i'm sure everysingle one of you thought like wait a minute how do you move it to the back? well, touch cover is pretty smart it has anaccelerometer built into it.
the moment he pulled it back we know when it's move to the back that we knowwhen they're not using it and it's turned off for you. so you never have to take it off and underneath your fingertips if feels great. so now you've got a comfortable devicewith touch cover that's yours it's personalized to you he saw the beautiful colors that we havecome in the market
and essentially was brought to you as anexperience like none other with touch cover and surface together. now i showed you the experience but iwanted to show you the technology because it really is important youunderstand it and quite frankly we have a bit of a madscientist many of you know named steven bathiche who actually invented touch cover. the fact that we have 30 years ofinput experience using mices (mouse)
and 15 years creating keyboards. we really understand how to create a greattyping experience we also knew that if we brought you touch cover and touch cover wasn't any good, boy what a breaking moment!! but we've actually of all thistechnology to a point where steven and his work to come to a place where we brought youexperience that's amazing in typing there's actually seven layers squeezed in press right into touch cover
to keep it three millimeters thin. now that's super thin but critical foryou to have a great experience and fold it back. let me explain you how the technologyworks just ever so slightly in quickly so what you're gonna see is i'm gonna put my hands down on thisuh... machine here and what you're seeing is this a surface for windows 8 rt and my hands it down on touch coveryou'll notice that my hands are laying
flat on touch cover right now i getnothing's happening if this was in fact the capacitivescreen or the phone you might have in your pocket or some other device mighthave became what would take up at the screen and you put your fingers down andit would look something like that now that's me actually pressing on touchcover and it knows the gram of force coming off my finger tips onto touchcover why is this critical when you type. in touch types p you have to find your home position andrest your hands
to do that your keyboard won't fire when you put yourhands down it's comfortable, you can rest your hands and note as i put pressure on thej key how the pressure goes up as i pushharder and as i release the pressure comes off it's actually measuring every gram offorce coming up my fingertips in as i started tight it knows how manykeys that i hit this keyboard
actually measures ten times faster it's getting prettybored matrix than any keyboard guarantee out theretoday. it is super fast and brings great great opportunity for you to beproductive and get stuff done. obviously i have a lot of pride in thisproduct i hope you'll love it i'd can't wait for you to get your hands on a backthere and i really mean that stephen thanks for having me here today. that was a moment for our team for sure.
as we want to talk a little bit aboutsome availability and pricing information and things like that i knowbut i know people want to know. surface for windows 8 rt i think that there have been much more information available on the web and upon the billable shortly so surface for windows 8 rt will be be available in both a 32and 64 gigabyte model and will be priced like comparable tablets that arebased on arm. surface windows 8 professional willcome in 64 gigabyte and
128 gigabyte storage models. and we'll have a retail price comparablewith competitive ultrabook class pcs. additional specifics on pricing andpackaging will be announced as we get closer to retail availability. now of course retail availability forthe surface pcs will be around the time of uh... will be released around the time of the windows 8 general availability (ga). and for windows 8 pro about three monthslater
surface will be available to themicrosoft's physical stores here in the us and available to select onlinethrough the select online outlets of the microsoft store as well. so welcome everybody to surface i just want to invites the steve ballmer back upon stage one more time and thank you. thank you very much. i want to thank steven, mike and panos and their team uh... this is been an unbelievable andsturdy we've invested
significantly uh... as you can see in talent in time in capital to bring the surface the market i was asked in the the last few dayshere why now, why now? we took the time to really get
