Basically it comes down to Office or anything that requires significant typing and connecting periphrials like projectors, thumb drives, printers, etc. Plus split screen multitasking, file management, and remote controlling PCs. A lot of that stuff can be done on other devices, but in most cases not nearly as well or as easily. iOS relies almost completely on apps and proprietary accessories for a lot of basic funtionality, where as RT/8 builds most of it into the OS.
Overall Windows8/RT works great for a lot of stuff despite its flaws and in my opinion has a lot more long-term potential than iOS. Whether or not Microsoft gets their heads out of you-know-where and starts addressing the obvious mistakes they have made, well that's another matter.
