    Why do you say that, exactly?

    Just count how many tiles per $ you get with windows 8.

    OS X or iOS will never be able to ompete.


     


     


    And no OS can compete with Pergo(tm)!

    Nothing wrong 'recreational' tablets, especially if people are interested in them and buy them.

    How can the Surface "suffice" on longer business trips without cellular connectivity? At least you can buy any model iPad with cellular. And, there are hundreds of thousands of applications currently available for the iPad. There isn't even a native Facebook app. (Although it did take quite a while for the iPad version to appear as well).

    It takes serious engineering the create the cheapest possible Win 8 product. Microsoft tries hard to create a crappy product. Props to them.

    And another big market for things that will quiet that loud "crick" sound the kickstand makes when you go to use it...
