2#Build2016MyPOVGood to see Microsoft creating its 1st platform (Surface was a response to iPad)Almost as all energy went to hardware, Microsoft is now looking for customer lead use cases to get to commercializationEnterprises get the value, massive number of large and small beta customersThe platform ships with a productive development platform, a huge bonusPricepoint with $3000 still very high, but will com down over timeSpeed to build software will be critical, lower price will see more default Windows usage update (e.g. for extended display). Summary: Congrats to Microsoft to its 1st complete own platform. But software matters, needs to build it.
