Is Oprah Cheating On Her Microsoft Love?

theodp writes "In what would be akin to General Petraeus pledging fidelity to his wife from the Gmail account he shared with his lover, Oprah has professed her endless love for the Microsoft Surface from an iPad. Microsoft's Surface tablet is one of Oprah's 'Favorite Things' of 2012, but an eagle-eyed observer at ZAPP noticed that a tweet from Oprah last night ('Gotta say love that SURFACE! Have bought 12 already for Christmas gifts.') apparently originated from Twitter for iPad. Betcha Steve Ballmer has a shiny new Surface for the Oprah staffer or intern who fesses up to Tweeting on her boss's behalf!"

Surface iOS Bridge

This should really come as no surprise to anyone, as there are basically no apps available for WM8. At least M$ had the foresight to deploy their compatibility layer iOS Bridge Application (tm) allowing users to seamlessly use well-written apps from the Apple App Store on their shiny new non-Apple devices.

zaGG.

I know P and G are nearly identical, but this is still has to be one of the most stuggid, poddamn tygos ever.

"Have bought 12 already for Christmas gifts."

"Oprah, this sucks."

"Jay Leno's relatives all are getting new cars for Christmas!"

Easy to verify..

If she really did buy 13 Surface tablets, all we need to do is check for a spike in the sales figures.

I'm a paid Microsoft Shill. Honestly, it's excellent money. We just spend all day posting to Slashdot. Clearly this is well worth it to Microsoft, because just a few well worded comments will make the notoriously Microsoft-hostile Slashdot readers suddenly change their minds, and immediately decide that they're going to use an inferior product.

"get a real fucking tablet, it's called the iPad"

Really! From day one I deemed iPads to be some kind of sanitary napkin.

I personally believe the hipster fashion is simply a way of liking thinks and pretending they are irony [although to be fair I'm the only one that thinks so].

So let it be noted that you though so before it was cool to think so.
