Windows 8 on Samsung 700T Tablet at Microsoft BUILD - video


The Samsung Series 700 tablet will be coming soon, and when it does, it will have Windows 7 on-board. But Samsung likes to get products into developers' hands, as evidenced by its Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Chromebook giveaways to attendees at Google's I/O developers conference. Microsoft's new flagship gets no less royal of a treatment, with each of the 5,000 attendees of Microsoft's BUILD conference getting a a 700T Windows Developer Preview tablet PC and Bluetooth keyboard combo. Unlike the Galaxy Tab and Chromebook, though, this special version is by no means representative of a shipping product—Windows 8 is in way too early a stage for that.

Rather than attempt to outright review this mythical piece of hardware, I'm going to instead identify five things each that I like and don't like about it, as configured with the developers' preview of Windows 8. The bottom line is that the future of Windows on a tablet is looking up, with the coming of Windows 8, but Microsoft and hardware manufacturers will both have their work cut out for them to make Windows 8 appeal to consumers ready to open their wallet for an iPad.
