Microsoft's cheapo Surface: Like a netbook you can't upgrade

It looks like the Microsoft 'Go' is

a 'NoGo' device at least for the people who use this site.

Ok, so we are clearly not the target market for this thing but even so, MS seem to have gone out of their way to cripple it from the outset. They did exactly the same with netbooks so they clearly have form here.

I sort of feel sorry for the poor sods who get suckered into buying one of these. I'm sure that many will get the impression that things have not moved on since the last 'netbook' debacle.

My vote is FAIL (Again) but I'm sure that it can be rescued by the installation of a decent OS as has been mentioned.

As a final though, it might be worth benchmarking one of these against the lastest Raspberry Pi. Could it be possible that the £35 device has more grunt than one of these? Now that would be real headline news would it not?
