It used to be the clarion call to say:

I have an Apple MacIntosh, then it became cool to say Apple Mac.

It cannot become a Ma, so logic says the next step has to be a M.

I doff my cap to those manufacturers, they have so kept it as the ultimate niche brand of computers, even though Macs can now run Windows.

Respect.

You don't have to be left out... unless you want to be ;-)

I think Windows 8 offers the scan already, on certain laptops and tablets.

After a go at voice recognition on my phone, which was disastrous, I'll be on the sidelines for awhile for anything from MS.

Peace!

My friend has one too. It's definitely easier to use than a PC. Easy software. But I had a few compatibility issues.
