One thing to consider is whether the tablets will quickly become commoditized to the point where it doesn't really matter which one you buy. Unless the app market really takes off the tablet could become a pure consumer device like a TV - most people don't really care whether it's a Sony or Samsung. I often can't even remember which one I have since I just click the button and watch. In that sense it might not end up a big market for MS.
