Good OS but limited apps on top.

TabletPC has always been full Windows x86 for 13 years or so, since the XP era.
True, but Windows tablets never set the world on fire. It wasn't until Apple's iOS showed what a touch interface should be that smartphones and tablets took off. I'm not an Apple fan, but credit where credit is due.

I do think Windows 10 could be a game changer for them. Windows 8 wasn't bad, but tried too hard to fix what wasn't broke. Windows 10 seems to have struck a middle ground. Of course, I've only used Windows 10 on a non-touch netbook. But I see the potential.
