| [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" | |
| === Snowman is now known as Snowman-01 | |
| [23:50] <bilal> pricing not announced yet | |
| [23:50] <bilal> and it has a multitouch keyboard that doubles as a cover | |

| [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? | |
