Though I'm a long-time Windows user, I've certainly done my best over the last couple of years to warm up to Apple's clearly superior mobile and tablet products.
To be sure, though, I haven't quite succeeded. Subconsciously, I keep asking myself the same nagging question: "Why can't I do all the stuff on my iPad that I've been doing for almost twenty years on my PC?
On this fundamental question, Microsoft's new Surface tablet could be a game-changer.
We'll see - but if, as promised, it actually will be able to seamlessly run all Windows-based software, I expect to be near the very front of a long line of lawyers clamoring to acquire this new, strangely innovative product that merely lets us do all the things we've always been able to do, the way we know how to do them.
One can only hope.

Because Microsoft doesn't publish Office for iOS and iPad doesn't support the BSOD. That being said, you could use Pages, Keynote and Numbers as many of our clients do.
As for MS Surfaced, they just Zuned their so-called partners. Surface will be dead in less than two years and barely any OEMs will make MS-based tablets having been squeezed out by they "partner".
