Interesting. I hadn't previously seen the ad. This might be a bit of "what you see is what you bring", because I assumed that the surface was comparatively male. Perhaps that has problems as well (for me or MS, I'm not sure). However, I think well-known that Apple products put aesthetics at the forefront, and I interpreted 'pretty' as a way to belittle the sacrifices that Apple made for design and their simple UI.
