Why Surface matters

There’s a lot of speculation that Surface is some kind of trial balloon, while some (myself included) don’t think it matters if Surface is ever profitable or otherwise successful. Whatever. Surface shows that Microsoft isn’t the classless brute that Steve Jobs claimed, that the company does have a soul and cares about customers.

Haha - as if MS haters will ever admit that! They will simply say it's Microsoft firing up the copy machine again. After all only Apple has a unique window into the soul of the consumer, right?
