Now onto the actual topic... Yeah I had heard that Jeppesen wasn't going to support microsoft so I'm hoping that they don't instead switch to a different map vendor. Word around the camp fire is they got their feelings hurt because Apple wouldn't hook them up with a deal for 4000+ units. I had the president of SkyWest Inc. in my jump seat last year and he asked me my opinion on the Surfaces.. I made it clear that the software was fine but the hardware was a joke and sited many examples of problems that myself and pretty much everyone else was having, if you have one I'm sure I don't need to list any of them. Realize that this stuff occurs below his pay grade, but I got to ask the guy what kind of computer he uses at home? (apple) and so the discussion got onto my opinion as to why we are using these P.O.S.'s and I had heard it was price, not only for the units but the software development as well. Mentioned that pretty much EVERY other airline uses iPad so its not like this is an impossible endeavor. So fingers crossed here
