I'm referring to the ones I saw on the HN front page, not some kind of logical for-all statement. And it's true, I didn't go digging around for other points of view, but I read three or four and they all seemed to say the same thing: an interesting idea with inadequate execution. They were negative in the "promising idea but don't buy this until they get these issues worked out" sense, not in the "what a stupid idea, burn them at the stake" sense. Now, if you want to interpret that as a positive review, be my guest. The reviews I've seen (one or two that made it to the front page) about the Surface Pro seem to be saying "hey, they got the issues worked out" or rather "the issues with Surface and RT don't exist with the Surface Pro" which turns a negative review into a positive one.
