Big Kahuna why are you here? All you do is whine and talk about Apple's crap products. I have used an iPhone 4 since it was released, and IOS is the worst tablet/phone OS on the market. It's so boring, and dumbed down and unstable I have 100s of crash reports on my phone running IOS 6.0.1..
FFX, Since you're asking, I'm here to learn. I'm also here to share my experiences, good and bad. It was with heavy heart that I returned my Surface today. I think it's a great piece of hardware, with loads of potential. It has many software and marketing flaws, however. The software flaws I've covered partly in prior threads. Marketing? I believe their ad campaign was lacking. It was meant to compete with the cool of Apple but never reveals the Surfaces true strengths and what sets it apart from Apples iPad: USB port, HDMI interface, SD card capable, MS Office included, touch keypad, etc. Furthermore, I believe it was a huge mistake, what with Microsofts vast financial resources, they didn't entice app developers with dollar incentives prior to launch. As one reviewer so eloquently put it: "...the App Store looks like a grocery store after a zombie apocalypse."
As a post script, I'll once again say that I've always been a devout pc and android guy, not until this day have I ever owned a single Apple product. I'll qualify that by saying I'm typing this now from a new wifi 64gb iPad, sipping a nice Pinot noir, listening to cool jazz on the pandora app and writing on the Tapatalk app. Something I sincerely hope you'll be doing presently on your surface.
As someone else said, it's not for everyone. Some like to dive under their car hoods and tinker with mechanics while others like me, prefer to simply climb behind the wheel, turn the key and drive off into the sunset. I bid you all a fond adieu.
Kind regards,
Big Kahuna
