Tim Cook called Microsoft Surface "risky and compromise"

During today's Apple conference call, the company's financial director, Tim Cook, was unable to circumvent Microsoft Surface and called it a “rather weak and contradictory product” ( UPD : “risky and compromise” according to MaxUp ), although he also admitted that "while I personally did not work with him."

Cook said: "You can create a machine that flies and floats, but I do not think that it will do all this very well." According to Cook, people will come to the conclusion that they want an iPad, “and I think it will continue like this” (meanwhile, the iPad still loses its market share, yielding to Android tablets).

Of course, Windows 8 includes both the standard interface and the new Windows 8 UI (Previously Known As Metro). Windows RT-based tablet does not offer all the features of a desktop PC, but it works with the Microsoft Office package in the old-school desktop mode.

In turn, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer called Surface "truly magical" during today's official launch of Windows 8. Actually, as I understand it, from now on, Surface with Windows 8 can already be bought in Russia.
