Did they really try though? The Surface RT always felt like a tentative "what do you think?" that got thrown under the bus pretty quick as soon as there was any whining. When Apple rolls out a product, there's some transitional overlap, but you can see them getting ready to burn their viking ships in that period. Microsoft's efforts always have lacked that kind of commit factor. IMO.
