Steven Sinofsky was President of Microsofts Windows division from 2009 to 2013. He has now moved to an Apple iPad Pro as his full time go-to machine. Here are some of his comments from his blog. PING!

He would use the Surface Pro but the video problems keeps him from using it plus it is too expensive for him even on his salary to own one.....

But he chose the iPad
Apple just does it better

I find it fascinating when folks move to a tablet as their full-time machine. I can’t imagine doing that. A big issue for me is the fact that Xcode only runs on my Mac. Add to that my frequent use of a large screen for both editing (multiple windows open side by side) and for development (side-by-side code listings and complex storyboards). The iPad is to the Mac as the Apple Watch is to the iPhone.
Different form factors for different uses.

Got my iPad two years ago with a Zagg keyboard. Reason was my boss uses it to communicate with employees in the field. What I miss the most is the lack of a mouse. Fingers on the screen don’t do it for me and I lose time trying to cut and past. I also miss Firefox browser and HTML extensions that I click instead of type.
