Perhaps I'm being paranoid, but I don't see how the following two statements are easily resolved.
I was an intern on the windows user experience team last summer, so I saw a lot of this new ui.

Of course, I still don't like microsoft, but I have to give them this one. They are absolutely killing it.
Also, I don't understand what great distinction you're making between a potential Windows 8 tablet and an iOS device. An iOS device needs to be plugged into a PC precisely once, in order to be setup. After that it can be used happily as an entirely independent device if you choose. Also, iOS and the MacOS have far more in common than they have different. The principal difference is the interface related APIs.
Your post seems to be making the usual mistake of comparing something that doesn't exist to products that Apple are selling right now.

- leif 15y agoWhat about those two statements needs reconciliation? I worked there, doesn't mean I like the products personally. Sorry, I thought you had to sync it with itunes to do a bunch of stuff. My mistake. The op started out making that mistake. He chose a pessimistic projection, I chose otherwise.

- MrScruff 15y ago* No, that was Gruber's mistake. * In what sense? If I release a controlled promotional video demonstrating my new product, I would expect people to assume it will be at least representative of what will ship, likely showing the product in the best possible light. On the other hand, if a company claims that their unreleased product is an 'x-killer' then I'm inclined to reserve judgement until I read a review or try it in person.
