Of course it makes sense. Other manufacturers don't release new products until their current line-up is thoroughly obsolete.
The way they achieve that is by releasing stuff that's already obsolete on day of launch, but you can't argue with the ethics!
- WorldWideWayne 12y agoI've been living in the future with my Surface Pro for a while now. Apple won't catch up to that until they can lock down the supply chain.

- WorldWideWayne 12y agoI guess one man's dystopia is another's utopia? Because I'm in the latter ;) I think Apple has brought us closer to dystopia than anyone with their hardware + software lockin monoculture. At least I can move to other hardware vendors if I don't like Microsoft's hardware. If I want to run OSX I have to buy Apple's hardware (and I do when I have to, but I certainly don't enjoy it).
- swombat 12y agoWhat do you find so amazing about the Surface Pro btw?
- WorldWideWayne 12y agoI love the Surface Pro because it comes with a "full" (not locked-down) OS running on very capable 64-bit hardware in a 10" tablet and all of the desktop apps that I use work great with touch input. (The hardware is i5/4GB RAM/128 GB SSD.) In addition to all the Windows software that I run on it, I also have a small Ubuntu Server VM within the included hypervisor. Can't wait until the Surface Pro 4 comes out, that's when I'll probably jump to the Surface Pro 3 to get the larger screen and SSD size.
