[News] Bill Gates thinks the new Surface tablets are great!

Okay...so this might not exactly qualify as "news."  But you have to hand it to the guy...anytime the head of a multi-billion dollar software corporation gets a video out on YouTube about how great his company's new product is, its going make headlines.


So for the man himself's opinion on Windows 8 and the Surface tablet, check out the following video.

As you might remember, the Surface tablet pre-orders were just made available a few days ago (see the article here) so as might be expected, there is going to be a big marketing push by Microsoft to get the word out that this tablet is awesome, and you should pick one up right away.  Whether or not this marketing push, including colorful and fun TV commercials, works will be up to consumers to decide.
