ROFL.

October 26 Surface storms the world with Windows 8.

Apple answer that day?

Heres an IPad no wait its an Iphone no wait its a Iphone large. Wait no its an Ipad mini.

ROFL.

So, wanna make a bet that by this time next year, Apple will have sold more iPad Minis than Microsoft sells Surface tablets?

Why does that matter?  It isnt just microsoft making Windows8 tablets.  Its about Windows8 tablets more than it is about Surface.

It matters because the Surface is going to storm the world and Apple's response is the iPhone Large, rofl rofl.

If we wanted to compare OS sales, it would be Mac OS X and derivative unit sales versus Windows 8 and derivative unit sales... which actually could be an interesting contest over the next year. Could make a good side bet. I've seen the occaisonal public statement about Win 7, but does MS normally report OS unit sales in financials?

You're on Selnor. iPad Mini versus Surface unit sales next October. If we can't find reasonably reliable numbers because Surface tablets are being grouped in with all Windows-based tablets and/or iPad Minis are being grouped in with all iPads, we'll call it a draw.
