The mix of plain desktop and touch environment is what draws me to Win8. I didn't get a Asus Transformer, as the only emacs I could get there was in a terminal, and in a sandbox. With a Win8 tablet, I get tablet-y stuff, and a full desktop env with a full unsandboxed emacs. Exactly what I want. So I hope they keep this best-of-both-worlds for the forseeable future.
