Don't underestimate the value of Microsoft Office. A lot of people are completely dependent and vendor locked on MS Office. No matter how good Android and iOS tablets are, they're not able to be the only computer of someone who's been Office-locked. So even if the Surface comes out with a few rough edges, there might be a surprisingly big audience. I personally use TeX for docs, mutt for e-mail and don't really use spreadsheets, so I'm quite indifferent about this.
