I know eventually I will have to use a windows 8 on a laptop, but only when my current one dies, by then who knows where the Microsoft operating system will be and what tablets will run, until that day I will stick with the system I have, Windows 7 and either an apple or android tablet.
Again, unlike say Google's Chromebooks, you don't need to use the cloud if you don't want to. This tablet obviously won't meet your needs. Cloud storage doesn't meet your needs. That's fine, I'm not trying to tell you what you need. But that doesn't mean these options are a disadvantage to the Windows 8 ecosystem, which is what you have implied.
