Hmmm....
What Nexus Model would this be then?
I guess, the 16GB model?
For a direct comparison (Acer W3 = 64GB), we'd have to add about € 100.
So actually the prices would be roughly the same for the same SSD.
Meaning:
You get full blown Windows 8 and Office 2013 Student version for about the same price as the new Nexus 7.
If we leave aside the display, there's no question for me about the more compelling offer.
I'm really a fan of Google. But for now, personally I don't see much use for Android. I did favor it over iOS, because of the file system and such. But Windows 8 of course can offer way more in that department.
(I still will buy the Nexus 7, but not out of necessity, just for kind of "nostalgic" reasons).
Still: I'm not a fan of the "bargain buys" from Acer or Asus (and to some extent from Samsung). I hope for the rumored Microsoft Surface Pro 8" or 9". But if someone is focusing on costs-benefit ratio, I think Acer W3 is only half bad (even more so, when Acer changes displays and sticks to about the same price)...
