Their partnership with Google over Typescript and the general openness that they are pushing is fantastic. I really feel they are giving a lot to the developer community.<p>The Surface Book is an exceptional piece of kit. It is telling that the top end book (16GB&#x2F;512SSD) was the only one at one point to be sold-out on pre-order. None of the other options include 16GB of ram and I think this is a shame, but you cannot fault what they have done here.<p>Kudos. Microsoft now gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
