He then said of people using iPad-like devices, "A lot of those users are frustrated, they can't type, they can't create documents, they don't have Office there."

Well, if you're going to be "creating documents" larger than casual emails, you probably want to be on your computer, with 16gb of RAM and 8x3ghz cores, two or three large monitors, and a terabyte of flash, ideally with your iWhatsit plugged into a docking station or just there on the network. You don't want to be using Mr Bill's lame excuse for a UI for serious work!

Of course, if you're out and about, then a lightweight pad or smart phone is handy and lighter in weight than a proper computing platform. Look up things on it. Take notes on it. Call or text on it. Then plug it into your real platform and get to work when you get home and comfortable.
