During Apple’s Q4 earnings call, there was quite an interesting moment where the Surface came up.

Mr. Cooks amusement/irritation showed in his answer.

5:31PM Here’s a follow-up: “With the launch of Surface today, could you comment on what you see from a competitive standpoint?”

5:32PM Tim Cook: “I haven’t personally played with a Surface, but we’re reading that it’s a fairly compromised, confusing product. I think one of the things you do with a product is make hard trade-offs. The user experience on the iPad is absolutely incredible. I suppose you could design a car that flies and floats, but I don’t think it would do all of those things very well. When people look at the iPad versus competitive offerings, I think they’ll continue to want an iPad.”

Snarky huh?

    Some people just don’t want Apple products. Not everyone wants to be an iClone.

    iPads do compromise your experience, since its UI is simply a bigger iPhone with a lot of empty space. There is no adaptation in that sense.

    iOs vs windows rt? Is there anyone who would pick iOs? And the surface is less expensive than, faster than, and cooler than an ipad

    A comment like that shows he’s defensive and scared of Surface. Its like when a child does something wrong and the parent calls him/her out on it and they start making every excuse in the book because they don’t want to get grounded. lol
