I'm not convinced the Windows RT version is a good deal vs iPad or Android. MicroSoft is also going to have a potential OEM issue if they charge the reported $80 and $95 for a RT license and sell their own RT tablet. How could any of their OEMs compete on price?
On the other hand the Windows 8 Pro tablet looks like an Ultrabook killer. Intel spends millions on ultrabooks, and MicroSoft eats their lunch. My laptop is connected to a large display and an external keyboard when at home, and the Windows 8 Pro tablet would presumably work just as well in this mode with greater portability when on travel.
