>Don't forget iOS is a walled garden since day 1, while Windows used the 3rd party ecosystem to gain relevance on the desktop

So? None, not even one, of the 3rd party programs running on Windows will run on Windows RT, so I fail to see the relevance of that point and Windows RT is on day -180 right now, not even day 1.

Apple does the exact same thing and you can say the same things about Apple, so I fail to see how Apple is better in this regard.



iOS is not the next version of OSX. Windows 8 on ARM is the next version of Windows.
