The generation that grows up with surface will be used to typing on it. You can see this with kids these days typing on a cell phone that isn't qwerty. They are used to typing on it, so they have developed the ability to type fast on it.Of course it hasn't. When computers first came out, there was *nothing* useful for them for the consumer market. Look at them today. The house that doesn't have a computer in it is considered almost abnormal. To expect a metric butt-load of utilities, software and other applications for it, before it has become common is just silly. As the price drops, and it starts to approach affordability for the average person (say around the $1500 price point), and it starts making some inroads into the consumer market, you will see applications that people want for it and it will become more and more popular.Much like mobile apps as well. Until the iPhone became popular, the mobile app industry really didn't exist. Now, it does.As it is, once it becomes popular, I see CAD drawing and other architectural/engineering programs becoming fairly popular, as long as it can be provided enough processing power. But, to be honest, increasing the processing power of something like this is, I assume, so trivial as to be not any sort of challenge at all.</blockquote>
