Actually using a Windows tablet I can say that this "windows is not for touch" is not really accurate. There are instances when something is a little inconvenient, but in general that statement isn't quite true. Besides, I am talking about 1-2 years into the future. I am sure Windows will be fully optimized by then.
Does everyone need something that complex? The question is, must powerful always be complex? Also, I was talking about people who have two devices --- a laptop/desktop and a tablet. Why not buy one converged device that can handle the tasks of both equally well, doesn't cost much more than the tablet and is just as light with a battery lasting just as long? And that offers no limitations on what you can do with it?
Android and iOS tablets would continue to exist but at a price point below $200 as pure media consumption devices only.
