A different point of view on the Surface

We'll likely 'punt' the same way we do with the stupid iPad. Drop a Citrix client on it and bypass all the app store nonsense from either party. Run the apps *we* want. I'm already hearing scuttlebutt it's VDI ready with a bit of tweaking.

iPad support kills us with frequent iOS updates *worse* than Windows, and Apple's infrastructure Wi-Fi support is mediocre.

I'll betcha a box of used PS/2 ball mice my friend that what Microsoft is really going after is the tablet interface and really doesn't care about the OS because they are assuming apps will come just like they did for prior OS's.
