The Surface use Windows 8 RT, is sold in just 8 countries and only via Microsoft online store. Had it been sold worldwide and in physical stores as well like other tablets they would probably have sold ok.
Besides many people are waiting for the Surface Pro instead. With Windows 8, better resolution and included pen.
Who is going to buy an ipad two years from now, when you can buy tablets with much better functionality.
1. Windows 8 making it able to serve as a productivity PC running all Windows software - not just apps.
2. Microsoft Office 2013.
3. SD card reader, USB 3.0, Mini Display Port and pen support.
4. Multiple tablet choices (designs).
To sum it up it will be tablets with laptop capabilities.
We'll see what happens, but unless Apple start to innovate again, they will be surpassed by both Microsoft and Google.
