I don't think that's true.<p>Apple are excellent designers. They've designed a pretty solid interface that is very specifically not OSX. MS tablets run Windows.<p>I believe that's the difference between the two and why Microsoft will never have a successful product in this space. That's the same reason Apple ate Palm and Windows Mobile's lunches: Windows Mobile is trying to be Windows on a small screen.<p>I'm sure Bill and Steve B sat in board room meetings patting each other on the back for making Windows run on a cell phone. Everyone knows the Windows UI so it can't fail! Think of all the enterprise customers!<p>Microsoft and other companies focus on protecting their empires. Apple focuses on making more usable products. A hardware manufacturer isn't going to be able to fix Windows/PCs enough to compete with the iPad.
