The end game that I see, is that your tablet is your PC. We've had dockable laptops forever - a dockable tablet that hooks up with your wireless mouse and keyboard and your 27" monitor at home, and when you need to go you just pull it out and have all your stuff with you, I think only a small step away. Sure, the hardware isn't quite there yet (especially if you want to be able to use it for gaming - gaming PCs are still monsters), but I think that's where PCs are headed, and where Microsoft thinks they're going also. It explains the surface, and Windows 8 perfectly - and if I (and they) are right, it gives them a huge head start.
