Windows 8 and the Microsoft Surface

It's a bit unusual to say "look, this niche system solves a problem that the one used by 1/3 of the people does not solve", while ignoring that the one used by the other 2/3 of the people solves it.

It's a honest comparison, it's just completely useless.

Sorry, what? Android isn't a productivity solution yet. Not even close. No manufacturer is trying with Android to build what Microsoft is building with 8.1+ - a coherent, unified, cross-device productivity and computing ecosystem.

Disagree. Samsung is trying very hard to win Enterprise customers (mostly failing so far, but they do have business users on their mind).

To me, Samsung is a joke company. At a time when Microsoft is increasingly forward-thinking in the clarity and tastefulness of its UI and UX, Samsung just can't stop throwing glossy plastic, pleather, knock-off iOS 6 icons, random fonts and gimmick apps around. They're the new 90s Microsoft when it comes to taste and sophistication.
