Good luck getting 12" hours battery life on x86. This is the primary reason I'm holding off on another x86 tablet purchase. Having used Vista in a tablet setting, I already know Windows 7 would work as well (if not better) for my needs (excellent handwriting recognition by the way - can easily understand my chicken scratch). Unfortunately, battery life remains an issue. Intel has made pretty great strides particularly with Sandy Bridge. I'm really hoping Ivy Bridge can up the ante.
