Difference being that Apple doesn't offer an extended return period for devices just because they released a new one. And why should they? It shows investors a lack of confidence in their products.
You sold us on the Time Steel just 6 months ago, and now it already might not be good enough to keep? Why not?
I think it's a comparison of popularity. The iPad market is larger than the Windows tablet market as a whole (which is mostly driven by Surface alone). More hands will see iOS implementations than Windows tablet implementations.
Developers making tablet apps will most likely see more profits from their iPad versions than their Windows tablet versions, so iOS takes priority due to the sheer number of users in the market, not variety of devices in market. And so on.
My first impression: Had my volume turned up and accidentally moved my cursor over the power button. Now I'm deaf and never coming back. I can't think of a recent example where playing sound effects when hovering over an element has been a good idea.

Until we can convince the majority of the population we don't need to give up privacy to continue to be safe, they're going to keep brushing those "anti-government nutjobs" off. It's just noise to them until they're personally impacted.
While acceptable for most paranoid users, the indicator light isn't as secure as a physical switch. For some devices (most notably 2007/2008 era MacBooks) the controller can be manipulated to enable the camera without giving any visual indication via the light.
Was this actually published March 30th, or is this new as of today? I had not heard of Project Spartan being included with the technical preview until today (April 30th).
That's assuming they're working alone for their own intent. Given how federal government agencies are responding to FOIA requests to local police departments regarding stingray operations, it wouldn't be completely ridiculous to consider they had help/orders from federal agents. That's just speculation, but it's possible.
OP could be commenting on the timing of the "White House hacked" headlines being published. Certainly a convenient time for garnering public support of those cybersecurity bills.
