After all of the tech blogs screamed about hating OSs “designed for touch”, and not wanting all of that app junk on a real computer.
Apple themselves had said they think the idea of a touch OS hybrid like Windows was a stupid idea.
Apple’s fans ran around for months mocking the Surface for every reason under the sun.
But in the usual fashion, Apple will now rush the same thing to the market, and all of their fans will say that Apple waited so that it can be “done right”.
Let's see. . . 68 million (per Apple Financial Statements) iPads sold up to October. 1,135,000 ($908 million [per article] divided by $800 selling price on MS online store) Surface Pro 3 sold up to October. RIGHT! 1.7% of Apple's iPad sales. You keep being delusional, VanDeKoik.
Maybe you should go back and review the threads when Apple announced the iPad, you guys had a lot of fun with that one as I recall.

Like moths mindlessly and irresistibly drawn to the light, Apple haters feel compelled to flock to treads related to Apple products and post comments belittling Apple users and Apple products.
Scanning through this thread, I find the numbers laid out in post 42 to be particularly enlightening. It’s clear that consumers are voting for what they have determined is the best product with their hard-earned dollars. And the vote is a HUGE landslide; it’s not even close.
So I encourage readers to GO TO POST 42 to do a quick look-see; the sales numbers there comparing iPad sales and Surface pro sales are the reality.
