Certainly not, but it is nice to be able to get on your laptop and do real work, or screw around. Seems like except for very specific applications, tablets just let you screw around. Even my android phone with its 1 free app a day from amazon still is mostly used for screwing around (as far as the installed apps are concerned). The real use I get out of it is 99% in the stock stuff they phone had on it when I got it. Mostly everything downloaded since is fluff.

I'm actually glad to see MS isn't going to just rush something out the door that people will complain about more than if they don't put out anything at all. It is a shame they will be once again playing catchup once they do release something, but you know what, that might not be such a bad thing, if they can get it right. I still think they are just waiting for Windows 8, which will run on Phone, Tablet/Slate, desktop, laptop, netbook, etc... and actually have a UI that works for the various input methods and form factors.
