Who would get an ARM processor for Windows 8 instead of Android? Its much better there. But the x86/64 are going to be beasts, I'm getting the 1st transformer (convertible I think its called) form factor with the keyboard when they come out, with a i5 processor and a good screen. I'm running the beta on old Windows now and its not much of an improvement over Windows 7 for laptop, but will be amazing for touchscreen

Wow I am a little taken about about all this interest in Windows 8 for Tablets If Microsoft makes a good near Clone of the desktop/laptop windows 8 for tablet computers with good battery life and have the capability to run windows PC programs plus the blue stacks app that enables Windows computers to run Android apps then folks Microsoft will have one fantastic winner on their hands. I think Ipads are great tablets but us Windows folks need a good tablet computer we can use. We have been looking for one for a long time now. Yoo Microsoft don't let us down
