Simplicity, minimalist design is what I'd prefer in the OS for a tablet. It's really mainly going to be an e-reader/markup tool for me, and it doesn't need a version of windows etc. to do that.

For a narrow focus usage like that you don't need much in the way of an OS, however, when it comes to a touch pad computer for general use including entertainment, multimedia, home accounting, etc., the future of flash is probably assured.
Flash, for good or ill, has a LOT of inertia and getting the industry to shift to a new tool will take a lot of time, effort, and money.
