one, i don’t see your point. of course everything has issues, that’s the point of apple fans — microsoft’s products are FULL of problems. look at vista which had to get rushed out before they could completely rip off os X. look at anything they do really.

what if my phone isn’t compatible with the tablet? what if, what if, what if? that’s what happens with microsoft’s “releases.” maybe it’s cool, but it’s too much of a stretch. we’d have to basically re-arrange our whole lives.

also, they did steal a concept from apple with it. you know what it is… it’s the stretching with multiple touch points that umm… oh yeah! apple’s iphone did first. also, all of their design is just bad knock-offs of apple’s design.

And also remember Steve Jobs say "We got patents" talking about the multitouch on the iPhone. I was wondering who got what when and where first then too. But it's not important to the end-user. If this is where things are going, I'll definitely be lining up to give it a shot. I just hope I can get Surface without the table, but on a tablet. I could get used to a 30" tablet. And running osX.

Cook - Thanks @Hamish M - That does look strikingly similar, and based on the similarity I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft got some pointers or some technology from them. Thanks for the link, I had never seen it. @E.T. Cook – Thanks

"I love Apple. It's their users I can't stand." I don't know who said it, sorry. I heard a quote some years ago that summed it up best for me.

“I love Apple. It’s their users I can’t stand.”

I don’t know who said it, sorry.

It is one of the things that turns me off so much about the mac community. Even as a mac user myself, fanboyism just rubs me the wrong way. Kudos. Well said. So very true.
