Well some reports yesterday considered this as sort of a reference design but MS showed how good they can be at hardware. I can't imagine anyone not wanting to choose the Surface first over an OEM unless it's due to price. I think it also shows the internal conflict of MS. Ballmer spoke of the integration between hardware and software much like Apple has done. We may be seeing the beginning of the end of the OEM on a large level such as a Dell and HP.
