I doubt the meeting would have gone any better were they using a Windows tablet (coming from someone who has used one).

Note taking in meetings is clearly not the USP of the iPad though, so Ballmer's comments are just a cheap shot... no substance.

Don't get me wrong though, I totally agree that it was a cheap shot at the iPad. Although I can't imagine using the iPad to get things done, it seems pretty good for consuming content though.
