Why would you get a tablet with windows 7, when there's the ipad? I won't go into the obvious points in terms of windows 7 that I made in another thread, but don't you realise this os isn't for arm cpus and arm cpus are the only viable option in terms of a tablet with decent battery, screen quality, responsiveness, heat, etc. etc.? You are an engineer, you should know all that. At least go with android in a few months, or wait for hp to take advantage of palm's ip and develop and web os tablet. Windows 7 is not a mobile os, it's not a touch os, and it's not a tablet os. It's an os for desktops and all the Palaeolithic tablets from the early 00s.
Even hp being one of the no. 1 clients of ms managed to embarrass them by cancelling the windows tablet that Balmer demonstrated in ces (what a parody) and buying palm to get on the right side of the fence for the future.
