It's only if you have pretty specific needs or wants that it starts to fall short, in my opinion.

I understand what you are saying, I just think "poor" is not accurate. Perhaps that is the case for you, but I don't think it is for 90% of tablet buyers.
Wait... so if you want a device that "has apps" Win8 is great, but only once you (unreasonably) start wanting specific apps rather than the abstract concept of apps, is there grounds for complaining that the Windows Store is poor in apps?
