Microsoft is on an anti-Chromebook crusade at the moment but an MS-branded Chromebook clone wouldn't shock me. And that would not be the Surface. I'm thinking something with a proper Internet based OS. Some new variant of Windows that plays well with their online services like Outlook.com and Office 360. And something that can sit comfortably on your lap without becoming a balancing act.
Microsoft seems to be shooting in all directions so, why not?

They should sell a range of laptops with the full desktop version of Office included. They should include a subscription gaming service. Sell machines with batteries included, just like Apple.

- TheRealWatson 13y agoWell, IEbook would be an awful choice for the name. I hope we never see an IE OS. And, to be clear, I don't think it would be a success or that I'd get one. I'm just saying Microsoft has been acting so erratically that they might very try that.
