or should I say not so comparable Windows version 6.2 (aka Windows 8) Surface.

Okay, so you may not know what I mean by Windows version 6.2. Well here goes.

Remember Windows XP? Go and bring up a command prompt by going to start>run, and type in cmd. Press the enter key and you will see that it reports the version number which is 5.1.2600.
Do the same thing in Vista, and it reports 6.0.whatever.
Now try Windows "7" and it now reports that it is version 6.1! And here I thought it was version 7!
Do it with the comparable tools in windows 8, and you will see that it is actually version 6.2.
So all it seems that they did was change the windowing system, and not the basic kernel, or the heart of the OS. And people are being duped by it big time.
