I have to agree with other comments here. The tablet form factor is not "winning" per say, just showing that technology has progressed to a point where alternate form factors are now viable for different situations. Tablets are selling like hotcakes because the market hasn't reached saturation point yet. For the most part typical keyboard/mouse style pcs have already filled the market so they are just selling at a standard new user /replacement rate. Tablets are a new form factor so that market is not yet saturated. I have 2 tablets now and I only use them for content consumption when I want to be away from the keyboard. I still find them frustrating to use though for content creation (edit: ...involving any serious degree of typing). This was typed on a touchpad but this is about the limit of what I would ever want to write on a tablet. I won't touch on the numerous ergonomic problems as others here have done that, but they are many. Different form factors, different uses.
