The iPad is not quite a computer replacement. Most people are going to have an iPad and a desktop or laptop as their main computer. The windows tablets will be a computer replacement because you'll be able to jump into desktop mode and keyboard and mouse around. The problem microsoft is going to have is getting their tablets into a form factor/price point that is competitive with the iPad. It has to be just as fast, just as cheap, and just as small. Unless Microsoft starts selling their own tablets, I think the only company really capable of building an Apple quality product is Apple.
