I think it's unfair to say MS is "copying" Apple. They are certainly following their lead, but online SW distribution already existed. I read today that there are to be 50 Ultrabooks at CES in January. That's a lot of machines without any interna…

1) If Apple doesn't support NFC in 2012 we'll get another article they'll support it in 2013. At any rate, I think it's safe to say that we shouldn't expect it until the next 6th gen. iPhone, not with the 3rd gen. iPad. 2) iTS has been quite succ…
