Do you mean, I essentially, that Apple refusing to make a touch enabled notebook style computer shows how out of touch Apple is? Or something else, like not developing a better keyboard? As Apple tells it, they do not foresee merging MacOS and iOS, as the user interface is to different. Microsoft is more willing to ship products with bad UX, and power through based on their market position, and willingness to stick with it until they get it right. I cannot see Apple, as it is, releasing something like Windows 8. The other thing is that iOS is the money maker. Even if iPad doesn’t sell as much as it might, it supports the critical mass of the iOS ecosystem, which is a vulnerability for Apple, due to much smaller market share.
