Working with limitations is what yields creativity. But unlike the limitations of computing's yesteryear, the limitations of the iPad seem artificial. OSX is built from BSD UNIX, and iOS is built from OSX. Why should it be so limited? Where is the "iPad Pro"? The uncrippled version with USB and SD card slots.

That's probably what Microsoft were thinking when they designed the Surface. We'll see how well it works out for them.

If I can use my own bootloader with Surface, I'd buy one.
