And your bizarre need to regurgitate Apple sales numbers had what to do with what I said?

I know you guys love to live through them like you actually made the money yourselves, but seriously learn to follow a conversation before you break out the ledgers.

Well, let's see, VanDeKoik. Do you know anything about the theory of large numbers and statistics? When your sales numbers are very low, it is very easy to double sales. . . when they are very large it is very hard to make changes in statistic metrics. My point was to point out to you that your crowing is miss applied. The 1.7% market blip of the Microsoft Surface Pro Sales against the iPad behemoth is like the Mouse and the Elephant scare story. . . the elephant really doesn't notice the mouse.

I know you guys love to live through them like you actually made the money yourselves, but seriously learn to follow a conversation before you break out the ledgers.

VanDeKoik, the ledgers were broken out in the article and were being used to distort reality. I set the record straight using facts. . . as I usually do. I know you don't like facts getting in the way of a good rant, but that's what facts do. Too bad.

Here's another. Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 is only 0.26% of the overall marketshare of tablet sales. WOW! That's a real surge for you to crow about!

Now, every product has to start somewhere and grow. . . and so did the iPad. But, Van, this is going on THREE YEARS for the Surface. It's no ingénue.
