So really, any tablet from Apple should be an OS X based tablet and fully open.

I suspect any Apple tablet computer will use OS X - what else do they have?
I agree such a tablet (still waiting for announcement) would need to be open.
It would need considerable processing power (on foot with a netbook) so the OS X GUI would presumably need to be scaled back to what was in OS X Tiger or earlier. After all, this is Apple: appearance is everything!
I wonder if Apple has been busily porting OS X to ARM processors?

How's this for incentive: the little icon with an exclamation point. You know the one.
Now I offer an alternative: contribute to this thread in a positive manner, with facts, keeping the belittling comments at bay, and save face.
I challenge you to do better.
