Re: WPC 20K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
That's the biggest issue you have with reviewers. They're blinded by the more 'common' tablets. They don't see the overall picture or don't understand it (more likely). But at the same time they are going by what 'normal' people want and need out of a tablet. Unfortunately anything that 'appears' complex will not appeal to the 'average' person, regardless how easy it is to use. This is the problem we have. The average IT user likes things simple. Apple claims to be simple. That's the problem.
App selection is a moot point when you can have multiple instances of IE running on the surface at the same time, especially when a lot of the apps on ipad are mainly website wrappers anyway. Ignoring office you've still got the massive bonus of remote desktop - I can sit here at work and play steam games via my home pc on my RT at lunchtime - or quite happily run any of my home software. You can be productive on an ipad too just one thing at a time. The biggest differentiator between the two I believe is the search and share functions on 8.1. Nothing currently touches what MS have managed to achieve there but its never mentioned in any reviews.
