Bill Gates: A lot of iPad users are 'frustrated'

I dunno, I think iPad owners are probably willing to make the tradeoff, and you can get an iPad keyboard fairly easily.

I've often wondered how much I'd use a tablet vs a PC, and since realized that I'd use the two things for completely different things (normally); PC for work, tablet for screwing around. I'm not the average user really, but I think thats not too weird of a stretch to assume other people do the same things. I know lots of people do work on tablets, I am just not one of them. Get me a tablet with a serial port and maybe we can start getting somewhere, but until then I'm stuck lugging a laptop/ultrabook around.

There are proper keyboards for the ipad (this is being typed on a logitech ultrathin keyboard ipad cover)

I haven't tried the surface version of office, but the web versions of office definitely lack features compared to the desktop versions (for example, array formulae)
