I think it's interesting that you believe businesses will rush out to buy this machine when so far the only actual example of a use for it is for a graphic design company to show clients some artwork, which they need a desktop machine to create.
So why would they need a iPad Pro when a standard iPad would do the same job?
If the bigger screen makes a difference then wouldn't they have bought a Surface Pro already? In fact the Surface can do a lot more then the iPad Pro. If you want to show a client some artwork the Surface, even the basic RT, can power a second large display via HDMI to display the artwork while you use the tablet screen to display you folders etc to select the artwork, a feature no Pad can do.
And if that client asks for a change you could have your full graphics software, not just a cut down app (and that's even if your chosen software makes an app version at all) on the very machine in front of you if you want to quickly change something there and then.
Even if you never use a single desktop feature of a Surface Pro it still has lots pf features the iPad Pro lacks, from the extended display example above to being able to plug in any standard USB stick or hard drive.
Apple tout the performance of the processor, but it only has a 128gb drive, a quarter of the biggest Surface Pro, and can only run cut down app versions of graphics and video editing software, and again that's assuming your preferred application even comes in an app version. You start doing HD video editing and a 128gb drive will fill up in no time, and unlike the Surface you haven't even got a micro SD slot to expand the memory.
