best tablets running Windows

Having said that Windows 8 is definitely for the techie community and has some bumpy spots, but come release day they will have a very competitive product with IOS and Android.

The Surface has the tablet form factor, with the ease and familiarity of the industry standard of the Windows OS.

The onscreen keyboard in Windows is mind blowing, like you can actually type faster on it than you can with the Ipad keyboard or Android.

The number of tablets running Windows is miniscule compared to Ipad and Android and there is a good reason for that.

This can be a nice second Tablet at your home if U love a Windows 8/7 OS "like" interface and are betting that someday in the near future the Windows 8/RT App Ecosystem will come to par with the Android/Apple Ecosystem.

I've replace the Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 8 Preview 32-bits with Windows 7 Ulimate 64-bit!

I used an external CD drive to download Office 2010, Streets & Trips and Adobe Acrobat X. Before I downloaded all the software and all my files, the tablet would start up in 5 seconds from sleep mode.

Having hacked my way from S100 CP/M in the late 1970s to Linux in the 1990s and Android in the 2000s, I'm now interested in a Windows slate that just works out of the box.

The rumor is that Microsoft will try to make windows 8 compatible with machines running windows 7.
