Bill Gates: iPad Users Are Frustrated They Can't Type Or Create Documents

An anonymous reader writes "While Apple views the tablet and PC markets as two separate entities, Microsoft takes the opposing view. During a CNBC interview this morning, Gates continued to toe the party line insofar as he praised the benefits of Microsoft's tablets and Windows 8 while explaining that iPad users are frustrated because they have trouble typing and creating documents. 'With Windows 8, Microsoft is trying to gain share in what has been dominated by the iPad-type device. But a lot of those users are frustrated, they can't type, they can't create documents. They don't have Office there. So we're providing them something with the benefits they've seen that have made that a big category, but without giving up what they expect in a PC.'"

    Jeremiah Cornelius reacts with downmods via sockpuppets to your comment by downmodding the source post you replied to here http://apple.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=3722307&cid=43647743 as always. He doesn't know how to do anything else. Nice to see he's downmodded as troll, but he'll just sockpuppet mod up his post again. It's funny to watch. He'll wait days to do it sometimes, but he'll do it. He's a predictable troll if anything and as you said, full of crap.

    Have you ever considered that no one cares? I mean, do you really care that much?
