I, at one point in time, have been a huge Apple fan. I had all of their products including the useless Apple TV. I had many frustrations caused by them. At one point I had my emails (sent to @icloud.com) deleted without warning. Reading the agreements it seems Apple took the liberty to delete suspicious emails without warning (not sending them to Junk). Of course, it was a bad filtering on their part, but this caused me to switch over to Microsoft products. It's a much better experience, not perfect, but better anyway. The Surface is not cheap but cheaper than Apple MacBook Airs. The Lumia has one of the nicest cameras in a mobile phone. And the Band is just cool! And useful
