Join The Verge's Joshua Topolsky as he walks us through many of the similar features between Windows 8 loaded up on a Samsung tablet compared to the iPad 2 with Apple's iOS operating system.   Starting with the most basic of taps to navigate each system he then takes us through more complex gestures to delve into the depths of what Windows 8 has to offer.   The end result is pretty enlightening as I fairly expected Joshua to clearly take a pro-ipad slant on his comparison.  Surprisingly he gives Windows 8 credit for a number of its advanced features such as running desktop and metro apps side by side or two metro apps and he genuinely seems excited for the final version of Windows 8 to come out.
