Since Thursday everyone following Microsoft has been trying to solve a puzzle, nobody succeeded. Everyone tried guessing and that’s what it has been–just guesses. Nobody knew for sure what was coming and now we know. I summed up the craziness in a post and the roller-coaster we’ve had in the past 4 days.
Now we know.
In an announcement in LA, Microsoft has announced tablet!
This is probably the best kept secret and by far the most interesting news to come out in a few months. Steve Ballmer said

“Much like Windows 1 needed the mouse, we wanted to give Windows 8 it’s own hardware.
We will keep updating this post as we get more details.
