I think software is part of the disruption, some apps will appear on the iPad that are better than those on the Mac. Apple's tight control means a simpler experience for most, there is no malware, spyware or viruses for iOS AFAIK. The iPad could run those OSes and it's not really down to Apple if you replace the whole OS, though Windows isn't available for ARM and nor is OSX in it's desktop form. Linux could be made to work on it. Android has already been made to work on the iPhone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yO2KQHkt4A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yO2KQHkt4A
