Re: "Surface RT attempted to compete with iPads and was a dismal failure."

True, I don't think Apple's approach is that great either. Microsoft tried to turn a Windows computer into a walled-garden and incompatible tablet. Meanwhile, Apple is trying to turn walled-garden tablets into proper computers. I don't think either approach is particularly wise, although Apple do have a better track record with succeeding with wacky ideas I guess...
