Ballmer Promises Microsoft Tablet By Christmas

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday October 5, 2010 @05:35AM from the also-i-want-pie dept.

judgecorp writes "Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told an audience at the London School of Economics, that there will be tablets running Microsoft's Windows operating system available by Christmas. 'We as a company will need to cover all form factors,' he told an audience of students and press. 'You'll see slates with Windows on them – you'll see them this Christmas.' Mind you, if he's talking about the rumoured HP Windows 7 slate, he may not be so pleased when it appears. A recent YouTube video showed a supposed prototype which has been described as a 'trainwreck in the making.'"

My Wife Won't Stand For This! by CherniyVolk · 2010-10-05 07:05 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Like all husbands, there comes a time when your wife asks of you that dreadful task of fetching female hygiene products from the store. We as males, must sit there in public with those nasty devices in our hands... we feel like some sort of freak I say!
I can not imagine telling my wife that I'll get her necessary items... in a few months. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't appreciate the aftermath of that myself, *shudder*. She would
certainly fly off the handle and say "In a few months!?!?! You march to the Apple store right now and get my iPad NOW!"
