"You can make up a new title if you want, but if you put gratuitous editorial spin on it, the editors may rewrite it."<p>iPad Killer? If that does't qualify as "gratuitous editorial spin" I don't know what does. Even if Microsoft does come out with a tablet on monday it will not be an iPad killer at all. Apple has cornered the market on tablets and I know of a fact that it would be impossible for Microsoft to even get close to the iPad in terms of functionality let alone price.<p>So once again: No Microsoft will not announce a "potential iPad killer". Ars Technica didn't call it an iPad killer for the exact reasons I mentioned above and because they would be the laughing stock of the tech news world if they did.
