In Pictures: App wars - Windows 8 Metro vs. the iPad

Microsoft's Metro environment in Windows 8 and Windows RT takes the iPad approach to apps, but is it better?

Weather: iPad loses

The iPad has no weather app (though the iPhone does). However, on the third-gen iPad, you can ask Siri for the current weather or for a forecast where you are -- or for any location. You just need an Internet connection. It's basic, but available if you own that newest model. Otherwise, you need to get a weather app or check on the Web.
