It means you'd have exactly the type of "tablet" that Micrsoft has gone nowhere with, for the last decade-plus. How is the Surface any different than a straight-forward iteration on a Win7 tablet? A neat keyboard for the slate form-factor? Marginally more touch-friendly software before it dumps you into an interface built for kb/m? For the last decade or so, some people have been well-served by such devices. This one is no different in that respect. But it is simply not a step forward. It's a stubborn refusal to step in even the same general direction as more-popular tablets.
