zax is there any chance you will post your predicted date that Microsoft tablets in all flavors outsell Apple tablets in all flavors? You can also throw in your predicted date on Windows phones vs iPhones if you'd like.

Oh dear, all this time I've been using my iThing as a tool for work, calculating yardage and costs, taking measurements and entering them on photographs that I take at the site, checking plumb and level and more when it's just a toy......sigh..... Annie

I didn't mean surface Pro. I ment pro like pro and con. I forgot that the full flegged version was named "pro." So I'm speaking of the RT.

The Surface Pro hasn't been released. It is x86/x64 compatible Windows. Comparing it to an iPad is like comparing a Mercedes to a flea. Your comparison is 100% laughable; you're missing about 10,000 pages in the Pro column, not the least of which is that one is a real computer, and the other is a toy. Of course, we already know by now that Doren was using Pro and Anti to indicate desirable and undesirable features. But in comparing the Surface Pro with the iPad, I think we need to talk about pricing, too. Except that Microsoft hasn't revealed the pricing yet for the Surface Pro, have they? And really, "comparing a Mercedes to a flea"? That's both ridiculous and hyperbolic.

> Mercedes to a flea Maybe a Mercedes to a Toyota. From Consumer Reports 2012 Used Car Buying Guide. Some myths die hard.
