But Microsoft's own hardware and software working together.

This would be a Google branded tablet with a report suggesting a series is making the device but it will be stock Android sold directly by Google.
Now controlling the hardware and the software experience is genius where have we seen that before.
But the reality is that competition's good old it's on like great coupons believed that.
And the big guns realized they need to do the same to compete with Apple in this still very young tablet market.
