Re: That's Surface crossed off my Christmas list, then!
It's amazing and wonderful to pick-up a gadget that's been sitting there for several days to find it's still happy and requires no updates.
I hate to tell you this, but that was the exact reason I moved to the Apple camp. I just had an OS upgrade, but that is a rather infrequent event, ditto for the iPad.
I suspect that such a move isn't for everyone, but for my business it worked.
