Have you used that operating system? Anytime someone makes this claim it really seems like they are just one of the 'sheep' out there just passing on someone else's misinformed judgement.
I don't need to use it to know that it isn't a OS made for me. I've been using GNU/Linux exclusively during the past 8 years and I love it. Besides that, I developed powerful skills by using GNU/Linux which would be lost by using another completely different OS. Again, I'm happy and I have absolutely no curiosity or interest in using latest version of Windows.
Now I know Windows RT behaves a bit more like iOS. But then again, I don't have any tablet, and for now I do not have intentions of buying one. One day, *if* I find the need to buy one, I would probably go to Android (or the Ubuntu tablet if it ever shows up) because it is a platform that is the most compatible with GNU/Linux. I'm not going to buy a tablet only to have problems syncing contacts or even simple things as transferring files between the devices (yes, Windows Mobile I'm looking at you). I also have absolutely no interest in creating a Microsoft Live/whatever account or using any of their services.
If the surface or Windows RT were such great devices, then explain me the ridiculously low sales?
