Overall, Microsoft has to have a credible response to this question: "Why wouldn't I just buy an iPad?"

I can't run Outlook? Why wouldn't I just buy an iPad?
I can't run any third-party apps right out of the box? Why wouldn't I just buy an iPad?
No cellular connectivity built in? Why wouldn't I just buy an iPad?
It's the same price as an iPad? Why wouldn't I just buy an iPad?
I can't join it to a domain or manage it with my existing IT tools? Why wouldn't I just buy my users iPads if I have to build a new management structure anyway?
etc...
It's the $110 magnetic keyboard, you can't get that on an Ipad so you have to buy the surface.
