Looks like Windows 7 with a new tablet friendly interface on top. The touch screen stuff looks pretty good until you switch to a normal Windows app, that Word screen they showed looks impossible to use with a tablet.

This is nothing new. There's plenty of apps out there (Win and Mac) that suck ass with a virtual KB. We're in a transition of computing with touch and it's going to take time for lots of popular apps to be refactored and the UI modified.

Which is why Apple and Google have touchscreen specific OS's and desktop OS's. Putting both together usually ends up making nobody happy.

A tablet is a PC with a touch interface. Whether you mount it on a desk with a cradle and keyboard or carry it in your hands makes no difference.

Good to know that my job is safe, for the next few years, disabling useless on-screen UI crap for a business environment.
