That's what Apple's reality-distortion ray does. People hear that new iPads come with iWorks and they immediately assume that it is something noteworthy. I've owned iPads from day-1 of the 1st gen. I own iOS iWorks. Of all the productivity/office apps available for iOS, iWorks is the most simplistic in terms of functionality. iOS Pages (word processor) is not only inferior to MS Word, but even inferior to MS Works Word Processor module. iOS Pages is on par with WritePad. So Apple including it for free now is no big deal. It SHOULD be free for what little functionality it provides.I don't see a recovery partition as a selling point. Its nice, but I just don't think people would think about it. Plus, its the same as how new iPads come with iWorks, so it meets it head on in that way, but with less apps.
Having said that, only MS fans care about a recovery partition. Actually, it is a sad statement that anyone considers a recovery partition as a "feature". There should be no need for a recovery partition on a tablet device (RT / Surface 2). That's a throwback to notebook and desktop computers. MS should've created an alternative to a recovery partition... heck including a recovery USB thumbstick would've been preferable.
