Microsoft Surface Video
I found it interesting that the video is so, shall I say, technology-oriented? The magnesium body is presented as the main feature as we are wathing the dust turn to liquid metal blobs jumping and orbiting one another while the aggressive electro music is playing.
For Microsoft’s sake, I hope this is just the result of them not having been able to show what you can actually do with this thing right now, as the OS is some 5 4 months from releasing.

OS should be released in September (2-3 months) and is available for public testing at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/download (i’m using it as primary OS from Customer Release version)
What is not out yet for public testing is ARM version (probably without win7 desktop experience, but nobody know if it’s true or not).
@vlko: It’s looking more like October, so let’s say 4 months

All the more reasons not to focus the video only on the hardware as they did.
As MS is known as software company, maybe there is some hidden marketing message why to focus on hw.
