Keep telling yourself that. The author of this and several recent articles that have been posted here seem to think otherwise ....with good reason.
Oh wait, everybody else copied Apple and Apple invented everything.....according to the mindless Apple crazies anyways. In reality of course nothing could be further from the truth.

Why do you think there is a campaign from this "author of this and several recent articles that have been posted here seem to think otherwise" saying the same thing? It's an advertising meme being pushed by Microsoft's astroturfering marketing department getting their new product which is about to be released: The Microsoft Surface 4.

There is NOTHING in the Microsoft Surface line except for being a full desktop OS that was not already available for the Apple iPad product ecosystem for the last five years. Optional Keyboard, check. Stylus, check, USB, check, Conductibility, check, productivity software, check (Microsoft Office 365 for the past two years!).

You could even control a full desktop OS remotely from your iPad, either Windows or OS X, accessing everything the desktop can do. So what have I claimed that is untrue?

Oh wait, everybody else copied Apple and Apple invented everything . . . . . according to the mindless Apple crazies anyways. In reality of course nothing could be further from the truth.

Only Anti-Apple haters claim that. . . and raise that as a strawman. And you, of course have devolved to ad hominem insults. When have I ever claimed that? I have provided evidence for every thing I have posted. Look back and you will see it.

In fact, see if you can find an actual Apple user who makes the claims you assert. Try it. . . and you will find it is an Apple critic claiming it, basing their claim on their interpretation of what was said in an Apple presentation about Apple's version of something. . . which Apple did indeed invent.

Ummmm...No. Microsoft has nothing to do with these articles. Surface 2 was launched without such articles appearing. The only reason the tech press is saying Apple is copying Microsoft is because Apple IS copying Microsoft.
It just so happens that you can't handle the truth. It's much easier for the typical Appplebot fanatic to believe crazy conspiracy theories with ZERO evidence to back it up than to accept that Apple regularly steals ideas from others and has been doing so for decades.
Listen, if you want to believe in little green men from Mars there is very little me or anyone can do about it. So go right ahead with your crazy conspiracy theories.
