I'm still anxious to see if MS does Windows 8 right. If they succeed in putting a tablet UI on Windows, they will resurrect the market

for then I see a whole market of "slate" PCs which operate as iPad like devices when roaming around but then can be docked and give you a full Windows OS with mouse/keyboard/video that keeps your existing Windows application infrastructure at your fingertips. The bonus is that if the software developers are smart, instead of making a "Photoshop" app, they're simply offering a Photoshop touch UI that was installed when you installed Photoshop
