The clear break from a classic desktop OS, both visually, marketing wise and by functionality is one of the key ingredients to the iPad’s success. The clear distinction has set people’s expectations on the right level and users don’t expect the iPad to do what they’d been doing with their PCs, and instead they can enjoy the iPad for what it is and what it excels at.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I think the Surface is an intriguing device and I hope it delivers on its promise.

For one, it’s dominated by women. Second, something about its layout and culture stokes an enormous buying impulse. And third, major brands are getting in on the act. It’s not a stretch to say that soon, at least on retail sites, a Pinterest button might become as ubiquitous as a Facebook Like.
