After fiddling some time with ipad and various android tablets, yes. Programs as in "apps" are usually carbage compared to what you can get on windows.

Examples? Because, unless I need to do a lot of typing, i.e. need a keyboard, I don't see how that is true in any general form.


Examples? Are you joking or just plain ignorant?

 

Office apps

Email clients

Photo editors

Development software

Those are pretty self explanatory. There isn't even a decent pdf software on android/ios. Ios has some carbage which adobe decided to dump for free, but that just sucks. Sooo many programs which are far superior on windows computers. That is to be expected from crappy tablets, but a definitive plus for surface pro.

 

When it comes to what tablets should do, at least in my opinion.

 

Games, ios/android crap vs windows games.

Browsers, can't find a properly working one with all the plugins. Heck, a simple web page with java seems to be impossible for tablets.

Streaming software. I know there is a sopcast-app for android but even that does not work all the time. On a windows computer, you can get everything.

Video players, there are always some lame codec which won't work on any player or it works with software decoding and is choppy as hell.

 

Yeah, pretty much everything.
