I'm Confused: Windows 8 ** Mac OS 10 ** IOS 7 ** WIndows RT
The aforementioned thread was closed by a seemingly bitter owner of a Microsoft product upon realizing that his Windows RT OS may actually be inferior to that of the Android or IOS mobile platform (and this is not a taunt, I promise)
Final verdict from thread owner:
I'd like to apologize for hurting your feelings first and foremost if I did [and on behalf of all the Andi and Apple fan boys]... But I would have liked to address your points before you closed the thread.Originally Posted by wishlist
Point 1: It wasn't about being smart or stupid I, we were merely critiquing the fact that the Windows apps are websites embedded into frames and I don't believe the developers put in the effort to make it function as we have come to love on other platforms. Also the developers may be the same for FB But not most other apps. There is for example no official YouTube app amongst many others. And even though the argument was regarding tabs you mentioned my 'Note 3' - totally off point IMO; clutching?
P.S. who knows with how innovative Google is and the investments they're putting in, maybe soon enough they will be able to tell the future on both my Note 3 and your HTC One X
Point 2: I'm not trying to justify your choice. We are merely discussing the pros and cons of the various platforms and why we all made our individual choices. It's all opinion based: I won't read/watch your previous posts and videos though because they are your 'opinions', and trust me I do plenty research and watch reviews for every device before I buy and despite the many warnings I saw, I still managed to purchase an RT device with an open mind, and it turned out I didn't like it.
Point 3: I respect your opinions believe me I do. And I respect the effort MS put into the Surface Tabs they are beautiful and solidly built, the craftsmanship is something to speak of, Like what was said of Gen 2 ASUS tabs (transformers, primes, TFs), and believe me if I could port an Android unto my surface I'd love it [no joke]. But we are discussing the OS here, so I am not sure how prices and build quality came about in the first place. Additionally, I don't believe its fair to compare prices if one was bought at full price and the other was bough pre-owned/recertified/refurbished etc... it's not a fair comparison. Also it isn't fair to compare an old model of tech to the newer model of itself or any similar device. Moore's law would dictate that you would be getting more bang for equal or lesser bucks. So again not an apples to apples. That being said I'm pretty sure that $400 dollars could now get you the illest android tab with comparable specs to your Windows device and a pretty solid build quality. P.S. The windows prices are falling because Gen 2 windows tabs are out - which are now mostly pro if I might add... I wonder why? and ppl are getting rid of the old models and even the MS store is trying to dump its inventory of the first gen surface RT for half price due to its lack lustre performance.
Those are my sincerest, objective opinions on the matter, and not the views of a fan boy - I was never and is never a fan boy of any tech. Function over form - my motto!
P.S. I hate the Note 3 but that's another story
Sir, you now have my approval to close the thread!
