I've often thought about getting a Windows 8 tablet (probably a Surface 2) and I'll admit there are some pretty good things about the Surface-being able to snap two apps side by side is a big plus over iOS and Android, and (horror of horrors) being able to run Flash in IE 11 is a plus. Not to mention the kickstand, and not having to prop my iPad up against a bookcase. I guess I think that Windows 8 is a pretty good choice for tablets-maybe its just me, who doesn't use a lot of apps, but I don't think there's a lot missing on the tablet side. Or take the Surface Pro 2-you have Metro IE 11 which runs ABP, which is in and of itself a bazillion times better than mobile Safari. But yes, its a royal clusterfuck on the desktop, and I don't want Windows 8, much less a touch screen laptop that I"ll have to keep wiping down to keep fingerprints off of.
