Microsoft Surface Computing chief Panos Panay talks about Microsoft's current and future Surface plans and positioning.



From All About Microsoft:

Typically when a tech vendor tries to do this, officials there -- and/or the analysts who cover the market -- spend lots of time and often money in the hope of creating a new, sticky term for that niche. (Examples: phablet, private cloud.)

But Microsoft isn't going that route with its latest 12-inch Surface device. Company officials are calling the latest member of the Surface family a tablet. (Sorry, El Reg... they didn't go with your suggestion of "slabtop." Nor did they use the already-established "two-in-one" or ultrabook labels.)

  Can Microsoft create a new market with Surface Pro 3?
