Why aren't you using the best ecosystem, /g/?

Honestly, yeah. Windows is the only one to have really understood the whole "one seamless platform" thing. You get one operating system, and you get it on your phone, your tablet, and your desktop. When you're on your desktop your phone just pushes any notifications there and you can use messaging from the desktop just like it's a phone. The tablet can run desktop-level software without any trouble, because it runs a full desktop OS. If you have a separate desktop then you can just set your tablet to act as a secondary monitor without any trouble.
That shit is nice. It's one of the only systems where I feel like I'm using something genuinely futuristic and convenient.

Apple has been doing this for years. It's about time Microsoft caught up.

First off, I'd like to mention that Apple nailed down message forwarding to desktop-class OSes years ago.
The problem with Windows Phone is that it doesn't have developer support. It can be the greatest operating system on the planet and die in the vine from lack of interest.
Also, I notice you emphasize how well the Surface can run desktop software, and it's true that the Surface runs desktop software very well. But what about tablet software? Realistically, how practical and user-friendly is a Surface with no keyboard attached? Not very, I'd venture, since the same issue afflicting Windows Mobile applies to the desktop Windows app store, resulting in few competent touch-optimized apps of the caliber seen on Android and iOS.
What I'm trying to say is that I find it disingenuous to call the Surface computers "tablets" at all. Technically, sure, but who's actually going to use it that way? And how often?

It's evidently also the only system you've used.
