Redmond is keen to show the iPad's weaknesses.
Microsoft's hoping to show users that they can do a lot more with a tablet running Windows 8 than they can with a competing product. Considering the iPad was the device that really launched the tablet form factor (this is despite not being the first tablet to market), Microsoft figures the iPad is the one to beat. As such, it's got a series of commercials that show the iPad failing while [insert tablet running Windows 8] triumphs. Check 'em out below.

They should have showed someone plugging an iPhone into the Win8 tablet to sync, with the iPad next to it getting punched or something.
I just have to say tho....TWO whole things? LIKE OMG, where back in the 90s instead of the 80s! Sure two apps at once is WAY better then just one, but its still a joke in this day and age.
really like the 2nd ones: "Dell Tablet vs. iPad"
Answer to Video 2 and 3: Bluescreen, constant updates, terrible security measures, etc.
And i do still like WIndows more than Apple
Baseball AD:
1 – None of the Win8 /WinRT tablets I know support 4G... so how would he be doing teleconferencing? Most baseball fields don't have WIFI...
2 – The stat info maybe on a pad or info provided by the player/coach. Also, any PRO scout would KNOW that information before he walked onto the field.
3 – A tablet doesn't make for a great telecommunications device... I've yet to see anyone do face to face with their phones. I've had that ability on my phone and my wife phone for a year... never used it.
4 – if that info on the Windows tablet wasn't up, he'd have to go to the start screen to launch it.
Video 2: Comparison
The iPad 4 totally destroys WinRT tablets in resolution and performance. Gaming horse power on the iPad 3 and 4 is way way above the RTs.
Lets talk about apps... nevermind..
Microsoft is in a fail dive... keep on diving!
Really? I doubt it... if you actually used one of these tablets... you'd see that its BS...
They don't have the performance or the ability to do some of the things they just showed...
My Win8 machine prints over the network. Airprint isn't the only printing over Wifi solution.
It's a luxury. I use my Note 8.0 for RDP and VNC and its quite convenient to have access to AT&T's quick network built in. Could I tether? Yeah? Could I use my job-issued MiFi? Yeah? ...but I like my Note 8.0 being capable AND independent.
