It is a similar deal that Microsoft did with Nokia, with a similar goal: to get their product on devices. Basically, find a company that's struggling, give them a lifeline with cash and say you have to use Windows.
This deal can possibly work out better for B&N than it has for Nokia. It all depends on how Win8 works on tablets.
