I think Steve Jobs designed the entire Apple product line to be as different from (and incompatible with) anything Microsoft made.

Macs can run Windows.

Thank God for Jobs. Without him we would all still be using key strokes

Well the fellow that Bill Gates hired from Xerox came up with MS Word. I was using an internal to Xerox word processor written by the same fellow, lots of similarities, back before he left for Microsoft.

As far as the iPad or iPhone tag line I modified mine to be more unique but left it. Tends to be an excuse for short messages and the occasional auto correct spelling.

I see you have drunk the Kool-aid of the alternate history folks. Windows is 30 years old? MS DOS ruled a few years before Microsoft could even come up with an alternative to the Mac OS. To Bill Gates' credit he did come out with the graphics based Microsoft Word for the Mac at introduction (1984) a good 8 years before it was available on a Windows OS PC.

I changed mine for a while, then put it back because most e-mail sent from my iPad2 goes to the daughter who gave it to me and I want her to know I am using it.

I'm a proud iPad owner because it works.

Much like Ford does not make parts compatible with Chevy.

Mine only does it in email. Did not take it off cause I'm a PROUD iPad owner.
