As one of the commenters put it so aptly:

When you cannot innovate and have nothing interesting to sell the only recourse you have is to desperately try to undermine the competition.

End result; free advertising for the competition and loss of respect for you.

Today, more than 80 percent of the Fortune 100 are deploying or piloting iPads, up from 65 percent in the September quarter, Apple said in its earnings call this month. iPad enterprise customers include JPMorgan Chase, Cardinal Health, Wells Fargo, Archer Daniels Midland, Sears Holdings and DuPont. "Generally, enterprise is much slower and much more cautious and uses things that have been in the market for a long time," said Apple COO Tim Cook. But companies have seen the value of the iPad, he said, "and they're really moving fast, and so I think we're just scratching the surface right now."

Lot's of companies provide laptops to sales people and others usually away from an office. If the device can securely connect to the mainframes and are easy to use and carry, who needs Microsoft and their hefty licenses?! And the iOS is much easier to program than Windows, according to those I know. Almost drag-n-drop!
