Exactly. Thinking the client OS means anything says that a person doesn't have much of an IT background.

Nope. I'm happy to say that ALL of my devices run open source software.

I'll probably be in the market for a Nexus phone, when the new one is announced.
And I'm actively looking for a distribution I can tolerate (I hate Ubuntu nowadays, they take plenty from the community and don't give anything back, so that's right out, and the Debian people are too busy being hippies to be pragmatic; and Funtoo/Gentoo takes forever and a day to set up).

Except uh, yeah it does. The underlying security being a rather big part. And even this being enterprise level stuff, what the manufacturer allows you to do with the device and it's software after you own it can, or at least should be, a rather large part of which one to go with.

I didn't know they fought over the iPad for the Surface. @Derg
Delta Pilots fought against deal to replace iPad flight bags with Microsoft Surface
By Daniel Eran Dilger
Microsoft's marketing coup in selling Delta Airlines its Surface 2 tablet for use as an Electronic Flight Bag in place of Apple's iPad created friction with the company's pilots, who "fought hard" against the deal.

It might not matter, if the FAA doesn't certify the touch screen, it'll be a mute point...

The touch on the Surface sometimes requires additional touches to get it to do anything. My niece has one. Its not bad, but nothing like the iPad. The one thing I did noticed, which was highly annoying, was the bad touch sensitivity. Now is a good time to start a company in the ATL area that fixes cracked screens for the Surface.

I am guessing if the pilots don't want it that bad the units will spend more time in IT than on the flight deck.

Out of curiosity did it have a screen protector? I bought one for my iphone that was supposed to be the best and used it for a long time until it wore out. When I took it off I couldn't believe how much better the touch sensitivity got. Won't go back, just more careful with it now.
