Yeah, you probably can install Honeycomb via custom ROM or whatever on a NC but that does not mean will run smoothly.
You've missunderstood what Ken is saying. The term "preview" is really like saying "Alpha" release, that is why Honeycomb on the nook is not an optimal experience. Many developers have quite trying to support Honeycomb on the nook until Google release the ASOP code. That usually does not happen until the first release of a "Google Experience" device.

I agree with what you are saying that one should buy a device that comes with what you want installed already, don't buy "in hope" of a feature. That said the one time I do buy "in hope" is when a device has a lot of developer support, as is the case with the nook.

Right now I'm running CM7 Android 2.3 on the nook and it is fantastic. The device is much faster than Android 2.1 and 2.2. The nook is able to run much more software than before.

Samsung is notorious for not updating their hardware so most Tab users will be stuck with 2.2.
