What we've seen in the tablet space over the last decade is a yearly boost in hardware specs that has not been seen for some time in the PC marketplace. Consider that the original iPad only had 256 megabytes of RAM and a single core ARM Cortex A8 CPU while the current entry level iPad has 2 Gigabytes of RAM and a dual core Apple Twister CPU. If you go back to the days when PCs still saw that sort of repeated yearly performance advances and try to run Windows Vista on a machine built to run Windows 95, you're going to run into the exact same sorts of problems.
