iOS is great for certain tasks but comparing it to OSX or Windows for productivity is silly. I have 3 iOS devices in my household, we love them. None of us use it for work though, they're leisure devices. No one at my company uses iOS for work, they use Windows and OSX. Also, your link is showing smart phones and tablets used at work, which certainly favor iOS. What does this have to do with the Microsoft Surface?
I agree, what does anything have to do with the Microsoft Surface? As I can tell, it has virtually no traction for "work," which makes it entirely irrelevant outside of the flood of fanboys in announcement discussions on the internet.
Not among the microsoft fanboys, clearly, which is the entirely point.
But, you know, why don't you go ahead and regurgitate a Microsoft market phrase since that apparently trumps actual facts. Note that I'm the only person who actually cited a real source with hard numbers in this discussion, and I've been the most downvoted. Go figure. I suppose we've already established that actual facts are irrelevant to you people.
How many MS fanboys do you think there are on HN? If there were any considerable, this MS pro post like any other wouldn't get flagged off from the frontpage in less than 8 hours.
>why don't you go ahead and regurgitate a Microsoft market phrase since that apparently trumps actual facts.
What facts are your referring to? That iOS dominates the enterprise world? It may but its rarely work related, my gf and her colleagues got awarded an iPad from work (she is not a techie), the most she does is email some documents and maybe make minor excel modifications. Its shouldn't take a genius to figure out that the current versions of tablets are anything but a productivity tool. I am not going to say Surface dominates the enterprise market but more realistically no tablet dominates it yet. However on a wild guess, I believe a hybrid version of any OS on a tablet would be the future.
umm its a statement based on my observation and not a fact... I can only make an assumption on what goes around me. If you want to believe that iPad is the tablet that replaces the enterprise workload and would replace the desktops in the corporate world, then by all means be my guest to that illusion. However don't go around expecting everyone to buy into it. I think you want to live within that "fact" so its a pointless to make an argument.
