Huh? Surface and surface book have Apple copying Microsoft.

You're delusional. Microsoft copies Apple. Period. Examples:

Zune, long after Apple released many models of iPods. CNET regarded it at best as a "high-profile underdog alternative to Apple's iPod"... which promptly failed as an alternative. Zune first released November 14, 2006. Apple's iPod was first released October 23rd, 2001.

Surface vs iPad: The first generation devices under the Surface name were introduced on June 18, 2012 and launched on October 26, 2012.

Surface magnetic cover vs iPad magnetic cover: Surface magnetic cover introduced with much fanfare on same date in 2012 as the Surface, with the onstage demo mirroring what Steve Jobs did with the iPad 2 magnetic cover in March 2011.

Many, many, many more examples abound of Microsoft copying Apple. Oh, another one is a glaring example. Microsoft Windows, long after the Apple Lisa and Macintosh. Need I say more?
