Everything you say is right, but how much will the extra intel hardware to run Windows cost? Now much will Microsoft charge for their software?

The Win7 tablets are expensive.

(update I just checked - Archos 9 PC (Win7) 32GB Tablet is now $499 MSRP. I thought it was twice that. Must be being driven down.)
