I am more on the theory that storage will be a selling point on the surface pro since it has the 128GB option, and Apple's reaction to that.

> it has the 128GB option

The 112GB option, 16 is tied up in the operating system on the RT. Presumably even more would be consumed on the Surface Pro.

ED: Fixed math.

112GB

how much does ios take? and how about a comparison in functionality?

A little under a gigabyte for iOS 6.1. This has increased over the 150mb for iOS 1.0, before it was even called iOS.

I'm not sure how you'd even do a feature comparison.

I think only 83 gb of it is usable space after the os is installed with the other applications.

Correct:
