[23:35] <Snowman> Good evening to everyone.
[23:37] <BobJonkman> Hi Snowman
[23:37] <BobJonkman> Is anyone following the big Microsoft announcement?
[23:38] <Snowman> Hi BobJonkman. No, I am not following it. Is it about a tablet running Win8?
[23:38] <BobJonkman> I see some Tweets from bilal about a new tablet with a keyboard
[23:38] <BobJonkman> Probably running Win8

[23:40] <BobJonkman> I'm not sure where that rates on the sarcasm-o-meter
[23:41] <Snowman> I guess we will see pictures soon.
[23:43] <Snowman> I used to use my tablet (galaxy tab 10.1) much more than my laptop (5 years old), until I installed Ubuntu 12.04. Its performance has improve a lot.
[23:50] <bilal> Hi BobJonkman
[23:50] <bilal> yeah, it's a tablet running Win8
[23:50] <bilal> 10.6"
[23:50] <bilal> pricing not announced yet
[23:50] <bilal> and it has a multitouch keyboard that doubles as a cover
[23:51] <bilal> http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/18/3094157/new-microsoft-surface-windows-tablet
[23:51] <bilal> No big deal, if the price is higher than $700 it's no threat to Ubuntu
[23:51] <bilal> or anything else
[23:55] <khoover> what about the salad crisper tablet?
