Well Apple found a way to sell tablets... Microsoft failed terribly...
And some people would swear that Apple created the first tablet ever.
Microsoft never had a true mobile OS until now. So don't judge until 2013.

Idc if WP8 doesnt go number 1 as long as Microsoft does supporting it and developers make alot of apps for it then im good
true and i would like if me and a few close friends would have windows phone.I agree, what I want is the platform to thrive even if it's not making Apple level profits.
In what? The phone market? The tablet market? Sure - they should be - they're well established.Apple has been trouncing Microsoft in the market, so this is what happens. I have to deal with it everyday.
The coin has flipped to the other side. I remember being subjected to ridiculous anti-Mac rants in the 1990s.
I had an IT manager who kept threatening to shut off my workgroup's access to "his network" because we ran Macs and "he didn't like them." He even pushed it to the highest level of the firm until I did a "reply all" email to his complaint (cc:ed to the BoD) pointing out that I'd happily switch the workgroup over, but we'd have to turn down $650K in revenue that quarter (and would have to reduce our revenue projections by 30% next year to make up for impaired workflow).
I even had a boss who knocked me down an entire level on my performance review for using a PowerBook instead of a Dell Windows 98 laptop... "you need to get with modern technology and not TOY COMPUTERS," he wrote. I ended up leaving for a better job a few months afterwards.
Ironically, he is now a total Apple wannabe hipster with MacBooks, an iPhone and insists that Apple is just "the bee's knees."
Now I use Windows 7, and he insists that I'm "behind the times and clinging to obsolete technology." Hilarious stuff.
Haterz gonna hate.

I had an Acer tablet in 2005.
How? The win8 tablets aren't even out yet.
That's interesting.
Did you work for a graphic design firm?
I've yet to see a Mac in any business that was not graphic design / art related.
You remember the tablet PC...? It failed badly at creating a buzz...

Relax man, is just a company. Apple is cooler to hate Anyway.
When i was studying computer science at university, people with Windows laptops would always get flack from two sides. The first would be from the uber geeky Linux crowd that would always mention how Windows was restricted and how "M$" was a greedy corporation. The second front would be the Apple crowd which would mostly be made up of arrogant rich kids that would think that the only reason you got a Windows laptop was because you couldn't afford a Macbook. You just learn to ignore them.
OP should remember that MS is still the big dog when it comes to desktop computing so he shouldn't feel so bad.
Not sure how old you are OP, but Microsoft has been one of the most hated companies in the world for the majority of my life.
They are actually far LESS hated now than any time I can remember. Apple is the one receiving the hate fest after the lawsuit and the Maps fiasco.
What a weird university. When I was in school the kids with the Macbooks would easily get the most ****.
