The problem is that they called both devices Surface, when they were clearly two different devices. One is a "laptop" with desktop mode, and the other is a tablet with only Metro UI. To make matters worse, both devices ran "Windows". But one "Windows" ran Photoshop, and the other "Windows" didn't. Apple did the right thing by making a clear distinction between OS X and iOS. It gives users clear expectations and doesn't create confusion and disappointment.
The only thing wrong with Surface RT is MS saying that it runs Windows, which in most people's minds means mouse and keyboard. MS should have scaled up WP8 to tablets and called it something like Metro OS.
PS: Can MS please rename "Windows Phone 8" to something else without "Windows" in its name?!
