Whenever the first generation of a product has just been announced, it is always a red flag and I avoid it to save myself from complete disappointment and total obsolescence. I rather turn my attention to later generations that are worth the wait.

Perhaps the Surface X is worthy of such an upgrade, but this atrocity in its current form is no exception.

I call v1.00 "Version One point Uh-oh." I learned from years of working corporate IT that installing anything brand new is nearly always a mistake. There is a reason non-critical patches are pretty much always delayed... look at Chrome's recent OSX file system destruction.
