Microsoft: T minus 1 hour, 30 minutes and counting

I’m sitting here, basking in the glow of a well-received book review, and for some reason I hear the voice of launch control in the back of my mind. Microsoft’s launch of Windows 8 and the Surface RT tablet kicks off at 11:15 EDT and while I’m trying to take an impartial, objective view of Win 8 & the RT, it will nonetheless be a bit exciting to see and hear what Steve Ballmer will have to say at the event. Apple has already shown its hand and Google’s hastily arranged event is next week. Microsoft has had dibs on this week for months and now it is their turn in the spotlight.

I plan to have some analysis of all this for you bright and early tomorrow morning.

Cheers!
