In m$ lingo 'hard disk' is something between 80 and 200 GB, required to 
hold their bloatware, and 'software' is their own offering, since they 
pretend that there is nothing else. There is no mention on how they will 
get rid of heat in their new tablet PC. Maybe it is designed to operate 
while floating in a frappiere with ice hunks in it and the battery life 
is given in thousands of milliseconds to make it more appealing 
marketing-wise. So, when said by them or their sattelites, it is 
coherent. Sounds exactly like marketingspeak should.
