From the article.."An iPad purchase was never an option, he said." "We have a checkered history with Apple," he said. "We used to have several iPods, and they're now a stack of dead iPods. We have a shrine of dead Apple devices. So we don't give money to Apple anymore."

Why are you posting an article that is over 3 months old? Having fun reminiscing about all the unmet expectations? At least we now have the answer to the question posed therein 3 months ago. "Whether the much-hyped Surface will approach the iPad's popularity is unclear" By all accounts, the iPad outsold the Surface by a factor of 23 or more for the quarter. I am surprised it was so close, personally. I was pretty skeptical of the early projections around here.
