Thurott has been called a Microsoft fanboy, and Gruber has been called an Apple fanboy. If it matters, read and agree with whichever one reinforces your own personal prejudices. For me the Thurott comments are just Microsoft vapourware being cheered on by an MS groupie. I'll believe in the Windows 8 tablet when I see it, and if I ever see it I'll compare it to whatever is available from other suppliers at the time. For now the iPad has no credible competitor. When, if, a Windows 8 tablet comes along I will be astonished if that claim can be made about that product.
