@ShazAmerica Don't count MS out of the desktop market. Remember Apple desktops, laptops are basically overpriced PC's, good quality PC's, but overpriced none-the-less. If Apple continues with this insane love with iOS for ALL it's products then MS will remain dominant. iOS is not meant for the desktop/laptop and should stay with the iDevices. Windows 7 is a mighty fine OS and 8 and up are very promising. Yeah MS has had their share of epic failures with Zune, Vista, Windows ME, but they still own the desktop OS market.
As for the Android tablets, as of now, there are no other tablets out there that can compete at the same level as the iPad i.e. product + user experience + apps. The iPad is just too complete, too polished for the other tablets to compare to it. Yes there are Android tablets that seem to have more features, but the user experience and the apps don't compare. Once all Android tablets get streamlined with a central app store, then we'll see an iPad rival, but that's wishful thinking as the different manufacturers will undoubtedly try to outdo each other.
As for those that love to criticize Apple and their products just for the hell of it, why is it that you're probably the same people that worship MS yet don't call Windows users as being part of the "faceless mob" since they control what 90% of the desktop OS market? BTW aren't there more Android users than iOS users so shouldn't Android users be the "faceless mob" rather than iOS users?
