I'd put OS X up against anything Microsoft has ever dreamt up. And I'm right now writing this using OS X 10.5.8 on a PowerBook G4, which is faster and more capable than any modern tablet. It still works great, over 8 years after it was built. My iPad 1, however, is largely broken by the IOS ecosystem that saddles me to a memory leak in the last version of IOS supported by the original iPad. Oh, and I bought the PowerBook used on eBay for $150.
People want sexy and portable, not functional. Tablets will never be primarily about productivity.
