Right. Surface uses Windows, which at this point is sort of OK at the whole desktop/mobile merger thing. You get all the classic apps and if you squint a little, they kind of work even on a tablet (except when they hilariously fail at, say, HiDpi).

But iPad uses iPadOS. IMO, it's way better than Windows 10 as a pure tablet OS. But once you get into the purported iPad Pro use cases, that line becomes a lot muddier. Multitasking, moving documents from one app to another, etc.? Possible, but hoo boy.
