I can open an Apple store with my Apple products that I have in my house!
Wow, my thread has lived on. We're now Apple free at my house. Surface RT came out and I jumped ship. I was very happy for the iPad when it came out. It filled a need no one else could at the time. I do miss a few apps, but overall I needed Office, better printing and better ability to browse network shares at work. The iPad has really evolved nicely though. Thanks for the good times and all the help iPad Forums!
I don't want to get too much into it. This I an iPad forum and I want to respect that people didn't come here to talk about Surface tablets. Briefly, it just depends on what you want from a tablet. I'm a fairly heavy Office user. Office-compatible doesn't work. The fact that its more of a desktop-class OS is what I like. Its Windows - just like my desktop. I can work on a doc at work, open Word on my tablet and its there in my recent files to continue. Printers are auto detected and installed into the OS and available with full printing options to apps. File explorer is the Windows File exporer - I can browse network shares just like at work and access them in all apps because its an OS level file explorer and not an app. I can have multiple user accounts - my kids logins get all the Family Safety restrictions applied to game ratings, web content and usage hours. I get a weekly report of the kid' activities. My favorite is probably the ability to have multiple apps open at once. Click a link in your email and the browser opens beside you email app and both stay open. The same for twitter, One Note, or any other apps.What's different about the surface from iPad ?

I have an iPhone and iPad mini. I wasn't into apple products until about 3 years ago. I was a dedicated blackberry user for a long time then after getting an iPod touch, I fell in love. I eventually got rid of it and bought the iPhone 4, which I've had for 3 years. I then bought a used iPad 1 and loved it, but wanted to finally upgrade and bought the mini (which I'm using to type this), and REALLY love it. My gf isn't a fan of iOS 7, but I love it.
