Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".

it owns in much the same way you own licenses for windows 10 and office, which is to say not at all

just remembered how the original surface was a crippled compromised POS because the office team couldn't/wouldn't get an ARM touch version of office ready in time

now here's the office team demoing the amazing, touch and stylus enabled, ARM version of office on the new Apple Surface Pro

surface team must be piiiiiisssseddd

even i have to laugh at the romanticized version of apple history

myth: steve hated SKU's

truth: iBook and iMac were all about coming in various colours, there were even limited edition ones and special education editions


myth: microsoft at an apple event! steve would not stand for it

truth: steve had bill gates on video stream to give apple a couple hundred million and announce office for OS X (or w/e)

somewhere there's a consumer that would look at an original surface and say "geez, why so small?"

"I wanted to kill you, go to your funeral, and anyone who showed up to mourn you, I wanted to kill them too."
lol at the commentary on pc-focused tech sites articles after the apple event, the amount of :qq: is hilarious

"crapple loving press hyping up what MS has already done! we got Cortana and apps on the Xbox One Entertainment System, same as Apple TV! Hello crapple Surface Pro!"

yes, actual applications tuned for the interface, coherent design and reasonable price points for their intended market are simply bullet point items
