Not knocking your purchase, I'm just pointing out the fact that I'm typing this message on a Acer W500 Windows 7 Tablet PC. It cost me less than an iPad and it does everything a PC can which is infinitely more than an iPad could ever do.
Apple have a rough time ahead of them. Windows 8 will be the cause of that.
Regards James.
James first off...how you doing?....secondly, thanx for the info on the Acer W500 tablet I'll be looking into it as an alternative to my laptop as now I realize although very popular the iPad isn't for my needs.

James, that is going to prove to be an interesting horse race if you will. Apple in general and the iPad versus Windows 8. Apple has so much cash at hand makes you wonder who will win the marketing game, but with such a commanding lead now in the tablet market, not so sure anyone is up to the challenge. Of course with Steve gone now that could be a game changer
I'm sure whatever happens, Apple will adapt to survive.

No problem. At least with Windows you can do whatever you want and connect whatever you want to it. No fuss.

It will all make much more sense when you see Windows 8.
Windows 7 on my Tablet is using the Surface Touch Screen Expansion software so it just makes normal Windows 7 very simply to use from a Touch Screen. Windows 8 is designed from the ground up for Touch Screen operation and the interface is very different.
I've already tired to install the beta on my W500. It's VERY slick.

Yep, and he made sure to 'point that out' in his video. Considering that, I still think 'Soldier Knows Best' presented a well reasoned & balanced iPad 3 "Good or Bad" assessment.
