Wowser! Microsoft Surface scored a major endorsement today as Oprah put the new tablet on her coveted list of “Favorite Things 2012” in advance of the holiday shopping season — with all of the Oprah-style superlatives.

Here’s what Oprah had to say about the Microsoft tablet …

“The Surface, Microsoft’s first tablet, feels like a Mercedes-Benz to me, people! The full-size keyboard built right into the cover makes work easy, the very smart kickstand makes watching a movie or Skyping a friend a delight, the less than a pound-and-a-half weight makes a great alternative to a laptop, and the many other features make it fun for work and play. Now, that’s a wowser!”

Nice little coup for the team from Redmond. We spotted this via Mashable.
