Way to completely miss the point.

Let's see, we can make a tablet with Win 7 that'll do everything a laptop will do. Except it'll have a smaller screen, it'll be slower and less usable (no KB/mouse). So why would I buy one over a laptop?

Tablets are a niche good only for viewing content. They are useless for creating content or doing any real work. So why try to base one off a full-blown desktop OS?

HP gave up on Win 7 but they haven't given up on tablets. They're just going to use a leaner, faster and more appropriate OS.
